> When I include support for ufs and BSD disklabels I cannot mount the ufs
I really see no reason why I _must_ compile UFS in on some systems only
if I only require BSD-disklabel.
Linus, could you apply this; it makes the kernel-tree smaller ;-}

Reason: Many alpha machines (without DU) run SRM (on some
there is no alternative) and so they need BSD disklabels but
not UFS for running Linux. So there are IMHO many (at least
6 here) systems out there using SRM+BSD Disklabel+ext2+swap
but no UFS at all.
