gnu: linux-initrd: Properly distinguish between /dev/sda* and /dev/vda*.
* guix/build/linux-initrd.scm (make-essential-device-nodes): Rename devices with major = 8 to /dev/sda*. Make /dev/vda* devices. * gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Change '/dev/vda' to '/dev/sda'. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-derivation): Likewise.
