Tells the kernel which partition to use as the root device.
This value can be entered as a text string, like /dev/hda4,
or as the major/minor number for the device, which for
hda4 is  0x304  for major 3 and minor 4, fsck has been
run. This argument can be set with rdev.

Under normal circumstances the kernel logs only those
messages of debug level 7 or below to the console.

and
will keep one device driver from probing sensitive ports
