We support hexadecimal device numbers in the 'root=' kernel parameter
when booting, but do not expect to see them at build time in the mount
table.
Please provide the output of 'mount' on one such system.
You are recommended to specify the root device on the kernel command
line using the syntax 'root=UUID=...'
