I've modified the way the autoconfiguration code determines the boot device
using the `bootpath' string that the PROM provides. This should fix two
problems: 1) incorrect interpretation of the disk partition information
in the PROM's boot path string as a LUN (for SCSI devices), and 2) actually
use the partition information to determine the root filesystem in the case
of `swap generic' kernels.

Please let me know if this causes strange behaviour on your machines.
