Oh - please - don't remove it! As TK50s tend to be broken (I have only
one working TK50 but many which just *eat* the tape :-) one needs to be 
able to install NetBSD from RX50. Then you need microroot.nfs!
Once one installed microroot.nfs you can mount a nfs file system with 
root.cpio already unpacked (it's crazy but it works really fine ;-)
The server does not have to be a BSD Machine!!
