/me looks at the line in question. In shame. Sorry - I'll put a fix for
that typo (rediffed against -pre4, but that should apply to -pre3 as well)
on anonftp in a minute. In the meanwhile, s/nt/int/ in the line 33
(init/init.c). Sorry - builds during the last week were all with
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS defined.
