I just built a minimal kernel using 1.4.1-release sources and tried to boot
it. The output is shown below. It hangs dead at the line that reads:
	root file system type: ffs
If I boot the generic kernel on this disk the next line comes from swapctl
but I added an echo in the /etc/rc script that would have appeared but it
didn't appear so that isn't where it is stuck. Also it doesn't respond to
^T so I'm guessing it hasn't actually started /etc/rc. So what is it doing?
And how can I find out? (yes it has DEBUG enabled, and no $D doesn't enter ddb)
