Is there a way to determine which device I have booted from? For
example, say I booted from a USB device, can I tell which one? I did
not find anything in /proc FS other than the cmdline options.
If you choose the (experimental) CONFIG_EDD option in your kernel then,
with cooperation of your BIOS, you'll have a /sys/firmware/edd with at
least some info about the BIOS boot device. For me:
I am sorry but it does not tell about boot device. It contains all hard disks
enumerated via EDD interface. I do not see any information
under /sys/firmware/edd that would have allowed to guess boot device.
