Description :
biosdevname in its simplest form takes a kernel name as an
argument, and returns the BIOS-given name it "should" be. This is
necessary on systems where the BIOS name for a given device (e.g. the
label on the chassis is "Gb1") doesn't map directly and obviously to
the kernel name (e.g. eth0).
You can enable/disable usage of biosdevname with boot option
"biosdevname=[0|1]"
