I think Scott's working on it. Though if you knew how to do it,
I'm sure suggestions'd be appreciated.

No, I think it's always needed. The built-in FPU in the 040's
(not the LC040) was only part of the 68882 FPU. The rest is
handled in the FPSP. The LC040 has no FPU.

In principle, what you want to do is the reason for giving the
Root Partition Name in the booter; if there are more than one
"root" partitions, the one whos name agrees becomes sdXa.

Take care,
