So, let me first add,  the comment can be removed as needed. Comments
offered only for clarification.

What I mean is, there are bootloaders that will, if they see initrd=
in the command line, remove it: the kernel will never see it.

it is possible that the initrd= argument will not be seen by the
kernel. That's my understanding. Will this be a problem if so? It
would be for me :-)

But it unreasonably happens as I learned the hard way :-)

Anyway, thanks Tom, I have no objections to whatever you all feel is
best to do with that comment. It was a failed attempt on my part to
explain the state of things :-)
