mount and make certain of what drive / is mounted too. Example for this, if |

mounted to sda* then it is my main OS and if mounted to sdb* then it is my |

test install. How does one decipher that up there? Heck, root could be |
| 58 |
mounted on anything right now. I'm not going to remove any partitions right |
| 59 |
now. I could be running off sdb and not even know it. o_O |

Try 'realname /dev/root'. Or realpath, I forgot which exactly. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Heck, just do 'ls -la /dev/root' :-) |

It's a symlink to the actual dev |
