Hi,

I created a bootable linux cd and always had to enter the root device (cd
drive) as kernel parameter at the syslinux prompt. (i.e. linux root=/dev/hdc)
I could not set a fixed root device as this cd should be bootable on other
systems with cd drive as /dev/hdd or something different, too.
So my question is, is there a way of letting syslinux setting this root device
or can linux set it's root device to it's boot device?

thx, Dan
