b43f3b6bfc This patch copies the ext2 server onto the initial ramdisk, the final
patch to allow MINIX to boot from ext2.

To create a setup with MINIX on ext2, follow these steps:

- Assumptions:
  - there exists a primary partition c0dApB with a MINIX installation
    with GRUB support (/boot/image_latest exists on /dev/c0dApB)
  - there exists a free primary partition c0dCpD

- Create an ext2 filesystem on c0dApB (from Linux, until Tthom
  has ported mke2fs)

- Follow these steps (from a MINIX CD with ext2 support, another MINIX
  installation (not c0dApB) or Linux >= 2.6.35):

  mkdir /mnt/mfs /mnt/ext2
  mount /dev/c0dApBs0 /mnt/mfs
  mount /dev/c0dApBs1 /mnt/mfs/home
  mount /dev/c0dApBs2 /mnt/mfs/usr
  mount /dev/c0dCpD /mnt/ext2
  synctree  -f /mnt/mfs /mnt/ext2
  echo root=/dev/c0dCpD > /mnt/ext2/etc/fstab

  (note: no subpartitions used because that would confuse an unmodified
  bootloader)

- Add the new MINIX installation to GRUB according to steps 7&8 in

71dbe2d023 ramdisk rc: start disk drivers synchronously.
This eliminates a race condition between the disk driver calling
sys_statectl(SYS_STATE_CLEAR_IPC_REFS) as part of driver_announce(),
and the root MFS calling sendrec(DEV_OPEN) on the disk driver.
