Other architectures do that like this:
findfs () {
mount | grep "on /target${1%/} " | cut -d' ' -f1
}
ROOT="$(findfs /)"
ROOT="root=$ROOT"
However, you may also want to un-devfs the device name. If so, try
something like this:
ROOTDEV="$(findfs /)"
ROOT="$(mapdevfs "$ROOTDEV")"
PARMFILE="$PARMFILE root=$ROOT $DASD"
