If I boot on a working system it is 8,5
mkrootdev is a nash command
mkrootdev path
Makes path a block inode for the device which should be mounted
as root. To determine this device nash uses the device sug-
gested by the root= kernel command line argument (if root=LABEL
is used devices are probed to find one with that label). If no
root= argument is available, /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev
provides the device number.
I already tried switching from the label syntax to /dev/sda5 without effect.
