If the root parameter (in the linux command) is omitted, then the kernel
will use the partition it was compiled on.
So if you have compiled the kernel on /dev/sda1, the kernel will try to
mount /dev/sda1 as root partition (only if the "root-parameter" is
omitted).
I think this will work in some cases (but you can't rely on it): Some
LFS-Users may compile the kernel on /dev/sda2 and want to use /dev/sda1
as their root partition.
Please correct me, if I'm wrong ...
