Really? I'm afraid your conservatism exceeds mine.
You don't need ownership, except as root, on a filesystem to boot
a Linux+devfs system. It might not resemble a ``standard'' Unix
system, but one of the spiffy things about a Unix kernel is that
it can be adapted to a wide variety of environment.

msdos.
Dunno about vfat; the msdos filesystem is good enough for the
purposes that I'd want to put it to.

I'm sorry, but your failure of imagination is not my responsibility.

david parsons \bi/ Of course, to properly use a msdos filesystem I'd
\/ have to figure out a way to get the IBM 2.88 mb
floppy drives I scrounged to work, but I can do a
shortterm solution with a zip drive.
