* After some (long-standing ;-) critics from Bruce, throw away the oldjoerg2001-07-131-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | device search code i introduce nearly six years ago in rev 1.8. Bruce suggested to rather use the device name of the root filesystem instead which is certainly the most sensible default. Since there are many possible cases for a root filesystem name (device with and without slices, consider /dev/vinum/root even though it currently could not work as such), there's some heuristic using a RE in order to find out the canonical device name from the mounted name. This probably won't quite fit for a NFS root (can't test that right now), but then, there's hard to find a good default for those machines anyway. ;-) This unbreaks the functionality of rev 1.2 i once broke in 1.8. :)
