Hi folks...

I'd like to make the following trivial change to main() to call configure()
a bit later:

! 	disk_init();		/* initialize disk list */
! 	tty_init();		/* initialize tty list */
  #if NRND > 0
! 	rnd_init();		/* initialize RNG */
  #endif
  
  	/*

  	/* Start real time and statistics clocks. */
  	initclocks();
+ 
+ 	/* Configure the system hardware.  This will enable interrupts. */
+ 	configure();
  
  #ifdef SYSVSHM
  	/* Initialize System V style shared memory. */

...essentially, this allows autoconfiguration to run in a valid thread
context.

Objections?
