It could easily be structured differently. I just tried to keep
the changes small so it would be easy to describe the proposal.
On the sun3 I moved the findroot/setroot stuff into rootconf()
just because I thought it made configure() less cluttered.
(OK, so I thought it looked pretty that way! 8^)
Perhaps we could insert three functions before the vfs_mountroot
call, like this: (instead of just the one shown previously)
cpu_rootconf();
cpu_swapconf();
cpu_dumpconf();
and put the findroot/setroot stuff in cpu_rootconf(). Whatever.
