• Add root=/dev/sdaN to the kernel parameters passed to the kernel image, where /dev/sdaN points to the root partition (N is the number of the partition if a partition exists).
• If splash is used, add a suitable mode line such as vga=0x317 to the parameters passed to the kernel and also add splash=verbose or splash=silent depending on the verboseness required through the boot process.
• Add the initrd information as required by the bootloader. Consult the Bootloader Configuration Chapter of the Gentoo Handbook for details on how to make the bootloader initrd-aware.
