This is not a bug, but just how DCD boots. Root.lrp is the one "special" package, as it contains the initial ramdisk contents (ie all the code to start running and load the remaining packages). The inital ramdisk is loaded by the boot-loader prior to any LEAF code actually running. If you're booting off a CD, the only way to change the contents of root.lrp is to make a new bootdisk image containing an updated root.lrp, and either boot off that floppy, or burn a new CD, using the updated boot floppy image to make the CD bootable.
