Re: Boot Disk

Agreed. But you have to *know* the drive serial number or UUID to do
that. And there is, of course, a high probability that you will not have
that information available.

It's in procfs, sysfs, ioctls and via dmesg. It's not hard to get at !
and if you are doing it in advance you can also use labels which are even
easier to remember than uuids
