    do_mounts: add device info to mount message · bca1033b
    Marton Balint authored
    In the past, I used the root=...  command line parameter to specify the
    root filesystem to the kernel.  Now it seems that specifying it is not
    necessary.  The kernel detects the root filesystem even if the kernel
    command line is empty.  My root fs is on a raid1 device by the way, and I
    am not using initrd for the boot process.
    
    If the kernel detects the root filesystem somehow, I think it should print
    out the result of this detection, otherwise I will not know which device
    has the root filesystem.  Or is there an easy way to get this information
    on a running system?  I had a quick look at the /proc and /sys
    filesystems, but haven't found anything useful there.
