This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on. If you decide to work on this consider using a blueprint [1] (maybe with a spec [2]). I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done.

We currently hard code this value to /dev/sda1 to duplicate the old nova-bm behavior. While this makes things work for TripleO [1], we should do something smarter to determine the true partition value to set (e.g., a Cirros image value should be /dev/vda1). We could consider using something like udev by-label names (e.g., /dev/disk/by-label/NNN). This obviously adds a requirement on udev.
