+
+  This parameter enables debugging messages to appear in the kernel
+  log at boot time so that administrators can verify that the correct
+  NFS mount options, server address, and root path are passed to the
+  NFS client.

+
+rdinit=<executable file>
+
+  To specify which file contains the program that starts system
+  initialization, administrators can use this command line parameter.
+  The default value of this parameter is "/init".  If the specified
+  file exists and the kernel can execute it, root filesystem related
+  kernel command line parameters, including `nfsroot=', are ignored.
+
+  A description of the process of mounting the root file system can be
+  found in:
