LVM can't just turn up with a profile change, you need to allocate
partitions to it, create volume groups, create volumes in them, put
filesystems on the volumes and so on. It doesn't just happen.

/dev/root is just a symlink to the real device containing the root
partition. ISTR it came in with openrc.
