I thought it only looked through 32 entries to find a root partition...
I'll see if I can find the #define to set...

OK, I'll give mount_ffs a try.  But that sure makes an automated start-up
difficult (/etc/rc doesn't use mount_fff, does it?)  And, Yes, I'm still
using ncrscsi on my IIci, so if we're seeing the same problem, it's not in
the esp driver.
