The version I just released does exactly that. Well, not exactly; it
actually looks at fstab -- /proc/mounts gives you '/dev/root' rather
than a physical device name in the root entry.

No. It only knows about IDE and SCSI root devices at the moment. As I
learn how to identify other kinds of root volume it will get smarter.

Congress have unwisely entrusted to it. Too often it acts like a
