Description Olaf Hering 2007-08-15 08:44:53 UTC 
root=LABEL=blubber does not work anymore with 10.3b1.
init cant find /dev/root. it asks to use a fallback of /dev/disk/by-id/something.

dont break established interfaces.

Fixes keyname including multiple '='

When the init boot scripts are attempting to parse the kernel command line options, the keyname is acquired by performing a Bash string truncation of everything from the end of the string to the first equal sign found (minimal match).  This rather should be from the end of the string to the last equal sign found (maximal match).  This patch adds the extra percent sign to cause the maximal match to occur.
