Re: kinit problem with cciss root device

kinit converts "root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p1" to "cciss.c0d0", which

I don't know whether it's the *right* fix, but the patch below
makes things work.  It still doesn't make kinit exactly match
the register_disk() behavior because register_disk() only changes
the first "/" in the string.

That's still the right thing; obviously register_disk() will need to change if we ever have deeper trees.

Could you re-send that hunk as a proper patch with Signed-off-by: et al?

Thanks,
