Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu server *only* the Ubuntu installer needs to automatically
determine if the system being installed is a Dell "PowerEdge" server
and if so, biosdevname gets enabled by default. If not, biosdevname is
not used. One option is to use 'dmidecode -s system-product-name' to
detect this.
Additionally, there should be a manual bypass of biosdevname by passing
biodevname=0 to the boot prompt.
