I guess that's why my automated build/install test is failing when
booting from the install floopy:

  root on md0a dumps on md0b
  root file system type: ffs
  warning: no /dev/console
  exec /sbin/init: error 8
  init: trying /sbin/oinit
  exec /sbin/oinit: error 2
  init: trying /sbin/init.bak
  exec /sbin/init.bak: error 2

The failures started with the following commit (as determined by
automated binary search):
