 You need to change the entry to
 <userinput>root=/dev/<replaceable>yyyy</replaceable></userinput>.
 Replace the <replaceable>yyyy</replaceable> with the Linux name of the
-partition onto which you installed the system
-(e.g. <filename>/dev/sda1</filename>); you wrote this down earlier.
-The <userinput>video=font:VGA8x8</userinput> is recommended especially
-for users with tiny screens. The kernel would pick a prettier (6x11)
-font but the console driver for this font can hang the machine, so
-using 8x16 or 8x8 is safer at this stage.  You can change this at any
-time.
