I suppose we do not want MD code in RAIDframe...

This would only work if all the kernels supported the multiboot command.
NetBSD 3 does not. I have a case where I need "-A root" for NetBSD 3
on one file system and NetBSD 5 on a second raid. Without the multiboot
command NetBSD 5 always tries to boot from the wrong file system.
Another point is, that IMO command line arguments should take
precedence. I was surprised when specifying "root=..." did not work.
