[CentOS] parsing /proc/cmdline

Me neither, Perl is my thing, and with regular expressions this would  
be trivial.

This is probably not the best approach, but it should work:

   awk -F "ks=" /proc/cmdline '{print $2}' | awk -F / '{print $3}'

On the other hand, if I can call awk, I could also call Perl...
