I have a Compact Flash disk that mounts it's second partition but on some devices this is /dev/hda1 and on other devices this i /dev/hdc1 (the root is /dev/hda2 or /dev/hdc2 so that when a user takes the CF card out and puts it on Windows, they don't see the boot partition, only the FAT partition securing the software from accidental deletion).

I'm using bb 1.3.2 with the tune2fs applet which supports findfs and
e2label for a initramfs.
