Unfortunately, this breaks shark.  After upgrading my machine to a  
recent kernel, I can no longer boot from the hard disk; the machine  
seems to be completely stalled at that point.  I cannot even enter  
ddb as the PS/2 keyboard does not respond.

Booting an install kernel is also useless.  After the kernel gives  
control to userland, the keyboard won't work.  I.e., if I boot with  
the '-a' option, I can answer the questions the kernel makes, but  
once sysinst is started I cannot do anything else.

Reverting this change lets me reinstall shark correctly.

FWIW, disabling 'file-system NFS' from the kernel has this same  
effect, hence why I'm appending this to the port-shark/22355 PR.

Any idea about what happens?

Thank you,
