Oh, and /dev/sda is not necessarily the BIOS boot device, by the way.  For instance, on my upstream EL 6.1 box:

[root@www ~]# mount|grep boot
/dev/sdag1 on /boot type ext4 (rw)
[root@www ~]#

That is not constant; I have seen it at /dev/sda1, and I have seen it everywhere in between.

It will be interesting to see if 6.2 has deterministic behavior in device names.
