Eelco Dolstra e8e7ee356c * In the installation CD, pass the label of the CD through the
root=... kernel command line parameter, instead of hard-coding it in
  `fileSystems'.  This is to allow CD-to-USB converters such as
  UNetbootin to rewrite the kernel command line to the label or UUID
  of the USB stick.
