PATCH: Select root device

Okay, for those with the luxury of having two floppy drives or a hard
disk, here's a patch that will let you select the root device during
kernel configuration.



Here's the output of 'cvs diff': (mind email client wrap)

>   boot the rest of the system (drivers, shells, etc.)
>   You have the following options:
>
>   /dev/fd0
>   The first floppy drive. If the kernel has been loaded from that drive,
>   the drive is empty, or the disk in the drive doesn't contain a MINIX
>   filesystem, the kernel will wait and prompt you to insert a root disk.

>   /dev/fd1
>   Once the kernel has loaded, it will look for the root filesystem on
>   the second floppy drive.

>   /dev/bda1
>   Once the kernel has loaded, it will look for the root filesystem on
>   the first primary partition of the first hard disk.
