I've finally killed off that old hack for guessing which SCSI disk
was the root device, and replaced it with something that can always
figure out the actual kernel name for any SCSI boot device.

This was made possible in part by the whizzy new setroot stuff
added to -current by Jason Thorpe.  (Thanks!)
