Hi, Stefan. Hi, Rob.

Stefan, let me repeat: your patch, which does exactly this, got to
linux-next: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=21528c69a0d8483f7c6345b1a0bc8d8975e9a172

I think there is some misunderstanding here. First, there is Stefan's
patch (based on Rob's patch), which makes the kernel parse rootfstype=
even if root= is present. As well as I understand, we all agree that
this patch is needed, and it was applied to linux-next, so all is
good!

Second, there was my suggestion to introduce rdrootfstype= option. You
both reacted sceptically, so I withdraw this suggestion
