Instead of the script from first post, here's a script that will just add the bootfrom partition in Thunar Devices list (the rest of the partitions showing will stay according to the standard gvfs-mount configuration):
Depends on existing symlink /mnt/home (which is by default created from the initrd, if all is well).
This is almost irrelevant to your posts, but I thought you being good scripters might find my little interactive mount scripts amusing. I find them very effective for my uses.
They grep devices and filter colorized output in the terminal and prompt for what drive to mount or unmount. There are four scripts to mount either to /mnt or /run/media/root, or unmount from /mnt or /run/media/root.
I use them in KL's and puppies and they seem to work just fine. They only probe for certain devices, and not every possible device. The drives mounted to /mnt won't show up in devices in Thunar however.
In a KLV airedale I might plug in a USB drive which will show up on the Xfce desktop unmounted. If I run the following cmntdev script, I can see a colorized list of the devices and labels, also mountpoints in /mnt, and then be prompted to mount one, which when mounted will then make the drive icon disappear from the desktop. As soon as I run the cmntudev and unmount it, it pops up on the desktop again.
So the bottom line is I can easily see what drives are attached and what drive letter they are and their label and then choose where to mount it from the terminal.

I zipped up the five scripts, there's one that just lists devices:
cmntls -- lists the devices in /dev
cmntdev -- mounts devices by drive letter to /mnt
cmntudev -- unmounts devices from /mnt
cmntlab -- mounts devices by label to /run/media/root
cmntulab -- unmounts devices from /run/media/root
you can see in the screenshot that I have a couple links in /mnt for convenience, the /vmnt link points to where I keep my mount scripts.
For who (like me) don't really like the devices display in Thunar and the mount options by the default gvfs/udisks2 configuration, this code will do it completely different, e.g. mountpoints wiil be in /mnt/, mount options are e.g. dev,suid,exec and the display in Thunar is like <LABEL>_<DEVICE> (or just <DEVICE> if label not present).
