---from Jean:
The problem is that /proc/mounts list /dev/root as the device
for /, but /dev/root doesn't exist.
Could you try this patch. If the device doesn't exist, it will take
the entry from /etc/mtab.

I poked around. Look at mount_guess_rootdev.c from util-linux-2.10r.
It does something from (basically) cat /proc/cmdline and look at root=xxx.
[chrismcc@dev mount]$ cat /proc/cmdline
auto BOOT_IMAGE=linux ro root=806
[chrismcc@dev mount]$ ls -l /dev/sda6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 6 Dec 28 16:36 /dev/sda6
