I was looking for something like that some time ago - in case of / on root_dev an easy way to get the parent device of that. I think we should add something to dkctl for this purpose. > - Inconsistent / nonexistent support for mount by name in the system.

For resize_ffs it should be simple to add that - for the others it does not exactly make sense, as they alway operate on the parent device of the wedge. I don't know if anything prevents us from moving from "wedge:" prefix to "NAME=" for the kernel, sounds like a good idea to me. Martin
