Further in the configuration file, when giving _hp_disk_layout a final value you only assign its value using init. When using the form "init _hp_disk_layout="…" the

You can now set the variable _hp_disk_root to the value of _hp_primary_path, assuming that the device that _hp_primary_path points to exists and _hp_root_disk does not already have a value. You can use an Extended Regular Expression (ERE)20 to see if _hp_root_disk is set to any value21.

21The ERE ".*" means zero or more of any character so it matches a zero length string.
