Not really. Just defining the variable works fine, eg
" ro root=LABEL=OLPCRoot console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 fbcon=font:SUN12x22 rootwait selinux=0" to boot-file
However, the keyboad/mouse/HAL problem remains.
It must be an independent problem/missing kernel mapper because if I also have in an SDcard with the same label that has Ubuntu, with this olpc.fth goes all the way to the Ubuntu gdm screen and then again no keyboad/mouse input

This just fails boot totally. Never gets to load initrd. OFW complains that there is a problem in line 40 (the last)
I also corrected the intention of the inirtd.img line. No difference.

Not to the olpc.fth, but to the no keyboard/mouse issue. Actually if this is solved then the modified olpc.fth should be OK.
