	Out of band, Bill expressed a preference for having a version of
cnboot that would read the defaults file on the floppy, so I went ahead
and did that; it ended up being about 30 minutes of work to merge the
missing code and test.  The source tree I have now should work for
building both a tftp'able version and a version that works on a floppy,
depending on whether OPCOM_FLOPPY is defined.

	So I now have a feature-complete cnboot for installing 9.0
directly on sun4m machines from the same miniroot that will install our
Ultras and Sunblades.  I'll make sure this gets into the bootkit locker
when we make a production install server install 9.0, and I'll put the
source tree there at the same time.
