The kernels I installed on Friday morning
have a small bug -- the boot program
ignores the arguments it gets from the kernel.
As a result, your boot prompt may show up as

	root is from (il, local)[il]:

rather than

	root is from (il, local)[local!#S/sdC0/fs]:

so that typing enter gives you a kernel panic
when il fails.

Only the default answer is affected -- you can
still type local!#S/sdC0/fs (or just l) to boot
the new kernel from kfs.

I just pushed out new kernels that fix this
problem.

I noticed this a few days ago.  I fixed it by changing ``bootdisk='' to
``bootargs='' in plan9.ini.
