At the moment, flash-kernel will use /dev/sda2 as root when the root
device specified in /etc/fstab doesn't exist.

I've had two similar reports in the meantime.  I do all my tests with
one RAID device and all failure reports had more than one RAID so I'm
wondering if the UUID links in /dev/ are only created for the first
RAID device.  I'll test this when I get some time.

In any case, I'll upload a new flash-kernel package that no longer
sets the root device to /dev/sda2 when the specified root device
doesn't exist since this seems to do more damage than good.
