root=/dev/hdb1
	Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or hdb1
	Please append a correct "root=" boot option

root=0341
	Cannot open root device "0341" or hdb1
	Please append a correct "root=" boot option

root=03:41
	Cannot open root device "03:41" or unknown-block(0,0)
	Please append a correct "root=" boot option

root=03:65
	Cannot open root device "03:65" or unknown-block(0,0)
	Please append a correct "root=" boot option
