included in the initial RAM file system image file.

I'm not sure I agree with this assertion. It is a fallback if you do not have the disk configuration in the initrd and instead want to bring the devices online from the kernel command-line. But possibly the correct way there is to provide the disk list to dasd_mod.dasd rather than relying on root= parsing?

Kind regards and thanks
