Index: sys/vax/swapgeneric.c 4.3BSD-tahoe Fix
Description:
When swapgeneric asks for the root device, it botches the table
lookup and refuses to accept any device name.
Repeat-By:
Generate a "swap on generic" kernel, boot and try to get past
the "root device? " prompt.
Fix:
Correct the confused coding for the partial string comparison
in the table lookup code.
