By the way, it's not generally needed to specify that, so don't worry
when you don't have such a parameter set.

It may be needed if there's some trouble in determining the right
partition (e.g. multiboot systems, or where you've changed drives
around).  Usually, the initrd configuration has the partition already
set in it.
