22 I thought that /dev/root was set by the bootloader:

26 IE: on the gentoo box I'm building now, /dev/ROOT is pointing to what I set with root (hd1,1) in Grub.
27
28 But then on my laptop, there is no /dev/ROOT, at least not last I checked.
29
30 As a sidebar, do most people use /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, etc. or
31
32 /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/tar . . . ?
33
34 I'm leaning towards the later, since this box has a few qlogic fibre cards in it.
