I piggy-backed the filesystem after kernel and when it was time to load init,
the
 kernel wasn't able to locate init in the filesystem.

I think lookup succeeded as rootdir was set correctly for the process, but when
it came
to load init, vn_rdwr couldn't really pass on the request to mfs strategy.

I am sure there are. I was a little confused reading the code. Maybe I didn't
understand something, so I sought clarification.
