[Libguestfs] [PATCH stable-1.24] Fix fstab block device resolution for FreeBSD

[Nikos Skalkotos]

Hello Richard,

I think my patch is sufficient. I don't thing you need this patch at 
all. The regular expression /dev/(ada{0,1}|vtbd)
will match both: /dev/ada and  /dev/ad. This is why I use "{0,1}" 
(=zero or one occurrence of the character a)

Nikos
