Well, I (and other guys) have replaced most use of
KERNFS + mount_kernfs(8) with dmesg(8) >10 years ago...
(after dmesg(8) was changed to use sysctl instead of kvm)

Anyway, it's much better to file PRs for tier-II ports,
rather than put untested changes without announcements,
as I asked you every time.

I'll see what I can put back.

It won't work without mount_kernfs(8) (and /kern dir)
in root ramdisk.

Anyway, dreamcast doesn't have sysinst so simple commands
are better for new users and demonstrations.

I am not sure; this is how other ports do it. Nevertheless, perhaps there
is space to put it back now.

Last I checked dmesg was smaller than options KERNFS (that would have
been on an m68k port tho' :)

Don't we have kernfs and cat /kern/msgbuf?
I thought that disklabel is more useful that swapctl. Perhaps swapctl will
fit.

- dmesg(8) is so useful for everyone
- why drop swapctl(8) but keep disklabel(8)?
  (both are useful for me for wd support though)
