[BUG] incorrect rescue boot instructions on -current install ISO?

The ISOLINUX boot screen on a Slackware installation CD/DVD suggests the following boot command line to bring up an installed Linux system:
Code:In a pinch, you can boot your system from here with a command like:
boot: huge.s root=/dev/sda1 rdinit= ro
In the example above, /dev/sda1 is the / Linux partition.This doesn't seem to work as expected. In the referenced thread, we found that changing "rdinit= " to "initrd= " stopped the init ramdisk from loading, instead applying the "root=/dev/sda1" parameter during kernel boot-up. This did boot the system in question.
