root= needs hex in 2.6.0-test1-mm2

I finally booted 2.6.0-test1-mm2, after reading somebody else who needed to
use hex in the root= argument. root=/dev/hdb1 and root=hdb2 would panic
("VFS: Cannot open root device hdb1 or unknown-block(0,0)"), but root=0341
worked. Devfs is compiled in, devfs=nomount and devfs=mount make no
difference. Is this intentional?
