One caveat..  I believe due to vm/buffer cache inconsistency issue.  If
you have a large buffer cache, either because you have a lot of RAM, or
have adjusted it, the 'cat /*bin/* > /dev/null' doesn't properly flush
everything.  This seems to happen when the ramdisk is being built.  The 
symptoms are that the MFS root can't be mounted, and panics with a bad
dir entry error or something.  I don't have the exact message, but I can
provide it if necessary.
