This stuff is from an upcoming patch of mine. It fixes the problem where
the root boot device will not be properly identified when it comes from a
SCSI disk other than SCSI ID 0. It is debug information that shows the
condition that otherwise would have had this problem - Riccardo is booting
from a disk at ID 1, but going through OF to canonicalize the path with
either canon or instance to path drops the node. This patch is taking me a
bit longer to prepare and in the meantime Brian, Michael and I have
identified another bug related to ofb so my attention has been elsewhere.

If you have a SCSI based install and you keep getting boot device:
<unknown>, please let me know and I'll send you a patch for testing.
