It needs to be tested if it will boot based on the search line when the linux line omits the "root=/dev/sdax" parameter. In some cases, but not always, grub and linux can boot to the desired partition when the "root=/dev/sdax" parameter is absent. It won't boot if the fstab specifies "/dev/sdax" that is the wrong partition. However, with "LABEL=" it can work. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
