Summary:  grub-install: find_device(): getting the device name

Original Submission:  Currently the `df` command is used to get the device 
name. It is supposed to return lines in the form of: /dev/devicename ...
When I had Red Hat 7.3 distribution, it worked properly. But when I began using 
SuSE 9.1, it failed, because for root filesystem df returned "LABEL=/" instead 
of "/dev/hda2". I always use mounting by label, but df always used to return 
apropriate device name in Red Hat 7.3. Even more, df also returns device names 
for all filesystems except root, though they all are mounted by label. So it 
seems to be a bug in kernel or in mount (not in df, because df version from Red 
Hat 7.3 behaves the same way).
