Subject: Add an alternative way to find the root device
X-Git-Tag: v0.1~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.ao2.it/kboot-utils.git/commitdiff_plain/ba32c0d281280ce7c63394b1d71404fdb6d18b18

Add an alternative way to find the root device

This one works under 'piuparts' as well, the previous one based on
'mount' was producing a string not usable with 'readlink'
