Bug#882766: Proposal: reinstate automated device selection, blacklisting d-i?



Dear Thomas,

Thomas Lange <lange@informatik.uni-koeln.de> (2017-11-26):

I'm pretty sure I did mention I would like to avoid having to mount
anything, so this is definitely a no-go.

Example of a problematic d-i environment with no information on the d-i
medium whatsoever:
| rootfs on / type rootfs (rw,size=792460k,nr_inodes=92575)
| none on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=79248k,mode=755)
| none on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
| none on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
| devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=370312k,nr_inodes=92578,mode=755)
| devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)

> Inside the d-i calling blkid /dev/sr0 outputs something like this:
> /dev/sr0: UUID="2017-10-13-13-09-57-00" LABEL="Debian 9.2 amd n" TYPE="iso9660" .....

Looping over all devices under /dev/ and callling blkid on all of them
doesn't return anything here.
