On embedded devices with flash the only common way to specify that is cmdline & root= parameter. That solution works with U-Boot which is Linux & cmdline aware but isn't available with all market bootloaders. Also that method is fragile: 1. Requires specific probing order on multi-flash devices 2. Uses hardcoded partitions indexes A lot of devices use different partitioning methods. It may be "fixed-partitions" or some dynamic partitioning (e.g. based on parts table). For such cases allow "linux,root-device" property to mark correct flash partition.
