I an confused about the bootprompt arguments mention in the l4linux.cd.k_us.cfg file that is given to the loader to load the L4Linux 2.6 kernel.
The line is : task "vmlinuz26" "mem=44M noreplacement root=1:0 load_ramdisk=1 ramdisk_size=4096 l4env_rd=initrd.gz panicblink=0 lang=us"
What does root=1:0 mean?
After referring to "The Linux Bootprompt - HowTo" http://ldp.rtin.bz/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.1 I figured out that the argument is of the type root=/dev/*
1:0 is another way of writing /dev/ram0, which is the block device with major 1 and minor 0.
