No, no need. As long as you've said the kernel is root disk is the
ramdisk, it won't even try to find another one by itself.

Look at the INSTALL config file and stuffs in distrib/i386/floppies,
they do exactly what you want: the INSTALL kernel (which is put on a floppy,
CD, loaded from network or win9x, or whatever) has a ramdisk which is his
root filesystem. But once it booted it can of course see 'real' HDs.
