After upgrading to 2.2.1, it seems that the "-c" option, used at the
"Boot:" prompt to enter the config mode before probing all the devices,
no longer works.  When I enter "-c", everything gets probed and loads up
like normal, all the way to the "login:" prompt.

Has anyone else seen this behavior or know how to correct it?
