On my FC3 /dev/root is a symbolic link to the root partition. Might that be persistant across reboot? Under /etc, where I'd expect nearly anything related to devices and booting, the only referenced I find to /dev/root are under /etc/selinux. Do you have secure linux enabled and might there be some setting for that system that is recreating /dev/root? -- Jon H.
