As commented in the its cpu_rootconf(), it's inside of
"#if defined(MEMORY_DISK_HOOKS)" and necessary for the atari specific
"auto load mdroot image from floppy on the first open" for installation,
after md(4) has been changed to be dynamically configured:

https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/sys/arch/atari/atari/autoconf.c?r=1.71#91
"ustarfs based multiple install floppies for atari" is in my todo list,
but it requires more detailed info about TOS (an atari's native OS)
internal BIOS functions for raw I/O accesses..
