In fact I am trying to boot from a USB drive which would be /dev/sdx.
The other problem I have is that I can't just do a search for a
particular file like devices.map on a mounted partition.
The problem that you have can be easily solved with a new super grub

would lie in /kernels/bzImage.
However you need to know that you actually booted from (hd0,0).

Hello!
Ideally we'd need to know which distribution you chose for your work. But
baring those details I can tell you that the root volume that this started
from is indeed /dev/ha with the appropriate partitions
Unfortunately, I'm trying to determine the boot device from within
initramfs. None of the devices have been mounted yet.
I'm wanting to do this from an init/installation script that will
install Linux on any device other than the boot device. Obviously, I
don't want to install over the top of

all the way to /dev/hda4
Is it possible to use grub-probe or grub-mkdevicemap to determine the
boot drive? I can run these from initramfs and hopefully it will
produce a mapping of (hd0,0) to /dev/hdx or /dev/sdx.
Is this an accurate way to do it?
Thanks,
