This is what Jared said in the original message...
I came up with this simple patch to getfsspecname that allows
ROOT=<part>
syntax for fs_spec. It uses the value of the kern.root_device sysctl to
construct a device path, so my fstab can have entries like this:
ROOT=a / ffs rw,noatime 1 1
ROOT=b none swap sw 0 0
ROOT=e /boot msdos rw 1 1
which is exactly what I have been saying is useful. The "ROOT=" gets replaced
by /dev/$(sysctl -n kern.root_device) which will produce (effectively)
/dev/sd2a / ffs ...
/dev/sd2b none swap...
/dev/sd2e /boot msdos ...
assyming the root has been found on sd2
If you thought that Jared, or I, were suggesting anything different, you
misread somewhere.
