ROOTVP

[Marc G. Fournier]

actually, I got this tonight ... installed 5.1-RELEASE, built a new kernel
after CVSUP'ng to todays source with, I believe, all the right ata
devices, rebooted and it failed with below ...

I'm goin to try to build a GENERIC kernel tomorrow, to see if its my
kernle config, but here's what I'm running with right now ... am I missing
something obvious?
