Is there a web page somewhere that explains all the boot options

You can have a root fs image (md0) embedded into the kernel, or you
can have a detached root fs image that hpcboot will load into memory
along with the kernel.
Install kernel has an fs image embedded and it is compiled to always
use that as root fs, regardless of the boot options.
