You _need_ to have an initrd image. Then rdev points to (1,0 -
/dev/ram0) and executes the /init process which takes care of scaning
the disks for the labels and pivots in a root filesystem depending on the label
(or the LVM if that is there).
Excellent, thanks very much. This is the first time in many years I've
had to worry about a vaguely defined root partition, so I forgot about
initrd.
