When used as a rescue cd the instructions state that you should type arch root=/dev/discs/discX/partY - to boot your system but this doesn't work in all cases.

I had to use:

vmlinuz root=/dev/hdXY

and i beleive there maybe other variation between:

arch root=/dev/hdXY
arch root=/dev/discs/discX/partY
vmlinuz root=/dev/hdXY
vmlinuz root=/dev/discs/discX/partY

should this be clarified
This task depends upon
