Summary

If GEOM is idle but the root device is not yet present when we enter
vfs_mountroot_wait_if_necessary, we call vfs_mountroot_wait to wait
for root holds (e.g. CAM or USB initialization). Upon returning from
vfs_mountroot_wait, we wait 100 ms at a time until the root device
shows up.

Since the root device most likely appeared during vfs_mountroot_wait

  • waiting for subsystems which may be responsible for the root

device is the whole purpose of that function -- it makes sense to
check if the device is now present rather than printing a warning
and pausing for 100 ms before checking.
