Description Martin Kammerhofer 1997-04-14 11:40:37 UTC 
	I4m a FreeBSD user who (inspired by the handbooks chapter
	FreeBSD internals/The FreeBSD Booting Process/Interesting combinations)
	made myself custom bootfloppies.
	During development the MFS inside the kernel changes frequently
	and therefore altered MFS-images are written into the development
	kernel.
	Unfortunately the (undocumented) utility write_mfs_in_kernel allows
	this only ONCE because there4s a check for all zeroes.
	My proposed patch eliminates the need to relink the kernel every time
	a (non-kernel) file is changed and therefore saves a lot of time.

Fix: Index: write_mfs_in_kernel.c
