The first "root," root(hd0,0), is the root from where grub springs from,
the /boot partition, where the kernel files live, and usually has a
sub-directory for the grub files.

The second "root," root=LABEL... in the kernel line, is the system root,
which is / at the top of the directory tree.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
