[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#588675: / left as /dev/root with non-initrd kernel

[Elliott Mitchell]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61

I'm guessing some step is being done by the initial ramdisk scripts,
with Etch that step was also done by the regular init script; whereas
in Lenny it got removed from the initscripts.

$ head -2 /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext3 ro,errors=continue,data=journal 0 0
$

This isn't huge, but it does cause some problems with utilities that look
for the currently mounted root filesystem (they can't get the device
name).
