Seems good, your patch. I only have minor changes (on top of your proposed patch), so I will go ahead and send my first patch. One change concerns =C2=AB mount the target root partition =C2=BB. General= ly, it is said one mounts a =C2=AB file system =C2=BB, though it may depend on ones choice of abstractions=C2=B0. I will go with =C2=AB file system =C2=BB if = there is no rebuttal to this. =E2=80=94Marco =C2=B0 If one mounts a filesystem, this involves connecting to the partition (available as a block device); as such, one could say you mount a partition/device. A partition typically contains one filesystem, so it is typically unambiguous to say you mount a partition. But the verboseness of this argument suggests that it is better to say one mounts filesystems rather than partitions. --Sig_/bMKosMV6T8yad6dq3x2xZQq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digitale handtekening -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAloNmxcACgkQpAol4YLG/sy5NACeJCwTU7euXQDppAWodJpY0y4a h28An0SSebMvJnxNa624xAovvdyAgx2C =Vsbs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/bMKosMV6T8yad6dq3x2xZQq--
