Re: Fixing md_root.c to unbusy bp buffer

Yes, I did succeed loading sysinst with your patched kernel and the md2a 
device.  So I _think_ I could probably mount floppies from /dev/md2a instead 
of /dev/fd0 but I'm not positive.  (Why would they have two separate devices 
if they're exactly the same anyway?)  So I'd lean towards not removing fd0 
unless there is a real reason to do so, but that's just going on intuition.
