I will try it now. I have tried every other possible combination I could devise (including dectlk, dtlk, decext, etc.). Nowhere that I found, was this written as the proper kernel parameter, and I must be missing a doc, somewhere. Btw: dumb newbee error on the not booting root disk situation: I must have hit numpad enter, the first time, instead of regular enter. Fine if not using the default keymap, but otherwise is the shutup key. Thanks.
