Subject: Fix `grml2ram` when booted via `loopback.cfg`
X-Git-Tag: v2.12.2~1^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-scripts.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=099f921c3368735a4162d07d6c4d8e324b524b72

Fix `grml2ram` when booted via `loopback.cfg`

When booted from a multiboot USB stick via loopback.cfg (or when using
`findiso=` kernel option manually), `/dev/loop0` is used for the ISO file and
`/dev/loop1` for the squashfs image.

Therefore, changing backing file descriptor of `/dev/loop0` will fail. Call `losetup` to find the name of
the loop device associaed to the squashfs image instead.
