Summary:  install-grub does not find the root device

Original Submission:  It is possible to specify the root device to the linux 
kernel as a number (and for some reason lilo does this). When it is specified 
this way (and possibly under other circumstances) the kernel would report that 
rootfs is mounted on / and install-grub script is not able to get the real 
device mounted on / just by scanning the output of df.

afaict the detection of root device by using df is still present in the cvs 
version of the script.
