[Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#275546: rootstrap not working

[Alexander D. Sedov]

-- QUOTE --
/usr/bin/rootstrap is a python script. It defines three kernel options
which 
appear to not be used on sid.

'root=/dev/root',
'rootflags=/',
'rootfstype=hostfs',

But then:

# ls -l /dev/root
ls: /dev/root: No such file or directory

Which would imply the script mounts this after it is called. This search 
in /usr/lib/rootstrap feels like it's getting warmer:

Hostfs, as sysfs and procfs is, simply ignores mountpoint. It is dummy,
not none because getting messsage 'device none is busy' is strange. Real
mountpoint is in option 'rootflags=/'.
