Please do not apply the patch to "distrib/evbarm/instkernel/ramdisk/list" as 
is. I didn't catch this error initially, but it the change as-is prompts the 
following error during make release:

#     build  ramdisk/work
nbmtree: ./libdata: missing directory in specification
nbmtree: failed at line 699 of the specification

It appears I have to create an mtree.conf in the ramdisk directory. Before I 
add one, however: does mtree.conf override 
cvsroot/src/distrib/common/mtree.common, or create additional entries to be 
appended to mtree.common? I would guess the latter based on other aspects of 
the build system, but sshramdisk/mtree.conf includes all the directories 
present in mtree.conf.


The sshramdisk patch works as intended- the installation image now has wifi!
