Root is actually the correct drive, you don't need any root=/...

(but if you need it, you can boot with -a and the kernel will ask for the
root device.)

The problem is that /etc/fstab does not match, and this can't be fixed by
an equivalent of root=/...

You would get the same problem in Linux in different situations, e.g. if
you copy the system from ATA to SCSI, or move the drive to a different
controller.
