[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#724959: mount of rootfs fails

[David Burgess]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-43

/lib/init/mount-functions.sh does not handle quoted LABEL= or UUID= 
names in fstab. mount -a (and findfs) works with quoted names in fstab.

Debian no longer supports the /dev/root symlink which forces users to 
use an fstab with either LABEL= or UUID=.

Attached is a patch to correct the problem. The script is made 
consistent with the behaviour of mount.
