Yep, I'm aware of that. I think it would still be useful for the kernel to support it. Bonus - if the kernel supports it, there's a standard way of doing it that would propegate down to the various initramfs designs of the distros without having me write patches against all of them. Right? I'm working on an initramfs-based solution that meets my own needs, for what it's worth. > Above script actually makes it easy by supporting disk labels: > root=LABEL=ROOT will boot the first available partition that is labelled > ROOT.
