Now the templated called Helper.yard used to create the root_fs_helper is
included with root_fs_helper.
Root_fs_helper was working fine, but because I hadn't committed, let alone
copied the new changes to CVS I didn't notice any aberrations until I
installed the new released version of gbootroot. This is related to the new
securretty requirements of uml. Problem fixed.
*** Better check on this below
Initrd was not working with any fs other than ext2. After
contacting the trinux-uml project, Matthew Franz <mfranz@cisco.com> confirmed
that he was having problems creating a working uml for the initrd created
by Bill Burdick <bill@appliedreasoning.com>. I talked Bill into sending
me his uml .config, and narrowed down the problem to cramfs. Cramfs has
known bugs as documented in the kernel sources. Because cramfs was placed
before just about every fs in the VFS check order, and trinux-uml's initrd
was minix, the kernel failed, but an ext2 initrd didn't. Changing the order
in which filesystems are checked during the VFS stage by editing fs/Makefile
solves the problem. Thanks for Henrik Nordstrom <hno@marasystems.com> for
pointing out how to do this at user-mode-linux-devel. I am hoping the patch
I posted at -devel becomes part of uml. This should have been corrected
ages ago in the standard Linux kernel.

Removed unecessary warning which warned that left-hand side replacements
couldn't be a directory if it happened to find that directory on the hostfs.
Directories can be replacements.
