Last year when I needed rootflags I found out that they only work if
your distro implements them through an initrd or initramfs.  Since most
distros do this it works ok.  But my Gentoo system did not use an
initramfs and I could not get rootflags options to work on the kernel
command line.

So I made my own initramfs with BusyBox and a short script.
