I believe what adam's getting to here is not *here* the FS is,
but *WHAT* type the FS is...

i'm not sure of a particularly good way to do this;
i'm not so hot after "config	 netbsd		ufs root on sd0",
or the obvious permutations...  (obviously, ufs or NFS could be
default, depending on what's configured in, but i still think
that the syntax is strange...)
