[patch] installer ufs initrd support (how to create a ufs filesystem as a normal user?)
This patch adds ufs initrd support.
It was in the previous d-i kfreebsd branch, so thanks to Robert Millan.
This code has the bad thing that mkfs.ufs must be executed as root,
and I don't know how to create a ufs filesystem on kfreebsd without
being root.
Comments on how to create a ufs filesystem as a normal user?
I use this on kfreebsd-i386.
Cheers,
Luca Favatella
