NAME
       linux-boot-prober  --  Determine  boot  characteristics  of a specified
       device.
SYNOPSIS
       linux-boot-prober <partition>
DESCRIPTION
       The linux-boot-prober utility will try to work  out  how  to  boot  the
       linux  root partition specified by <partition>.  If successful, it will
       outoput one or more lines of the form:
       <root   partition>:<boot    partition>:<label>:<kernel    path>:<initrd
       path>:<kernel parameters>
       For  example,  for  a  system  with  a  kernel  at /boot/vmlinuz and an
       initramfs at /boot/initrd.gz, and with /  on  /dev/sda2  and  /boot  on
       /dev/sda1, the command "linux-boot-prober /dev/sda1" will display:
       /dev/sda2:/dev/sda1:Linux:/vmlinuz:/initrd.gz:root=/dev/sda1
       Some  partitions will not be displayed by linux-boot-prober.  If a par-
       tition is mounted on /, /target, or /target/boot, it will be skipped.
