+Unsling script now prompts for a root password to be used, additional sanity

+added to indicate the status (running from internal flash or booted up from

+- Changed the code that handles the ".ext3flash" functionality so that it can
+ handle booting from either /dev/sda or /dev/sdb.
+- Better text, and cleanup of the "telnet.htm" management page.
+- Unsling now creates the wmtp and utmp files.
+- Unsling now "edits" the .../conf/passwd file instead of replacing it.
+- Ipkg dependencies fixed so that kernel-modules no longer need to be
+ "force-installed".
+- Support for mounting ISO images stored on the local disk added
+ (kernel-modules loop.o and isofs.o are now created).
+- The keyspan.o USB serial kernel-module is also created at build time.
+- README file updated to reflect the new unsling script as well as the
+ change in preferred port for the primary external disk.
