Results of different filesystems for root.bin
I tested putting the same rootdisk onto different filesystems, and
then compressed each of them with gzip -9. The results were as
follows:
minix 713k
ext2 717k
romfs 712k
Based on these results, I see no reason to prefer any particular
filesystem for the rootdisk; thus, to me it would make most sense to
use ext2 since it's required to be in the kernel for other reasons.
