I have looked at the document and have no idea of what to include in a root=

I'm not sure why you didn't look at the *other* reply to your question,
which directed you to the appropriate bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785815
Where you find the appropriate parameter - it seems to be approximately
"root=live:(path_to_squashfs.img_from_build_to_install)"
Between a broken pxeboot and an anaconda that flips out when it sees the
wrong
version of Linux on the hard drive, I would think folks would wish to get a
robust install experience before proclaiming a public beta.
The beta doesn't go out for another month or so. This is the alpha.
I copied a squashfs.img to the the tftpd directory along with vmlinuz
and initrd.img.
Pxeboot fails claiming it can't handle root=squashfs.img.
"V'ger does not know."
