pivot_root

[David Jones]

I'm not happy with it either.  I'll be working on it
some more tonight.  ALso, I've been reading everything
I can find on the subject.  Maybe I'll have more luck
this next time around.  At least now I know that
pivot_root can work with our kernel and setup.  Now
it's a matter of getting it right.
