From f2d34fd9435c7e60cb5189d036efe9abfc911862 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Drewry Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2011 16:21:08 -0700 Subject: Documentation: add pointer to name_to_dev_t for root= values Update kernel-parameters.txt to point users to the authoritative comment for name_to_dev_t. In addition, updates other places where some name_to_dev_t behavior was discussed. All other references to root= appear to be for explicit sample usage or just side comments when discussing other kernel parameters.
