    It would be a good idea to have the documentation (release notes faq, etc) reflect
    that the kernel option to mount a cdrom on root / is no-longer

    options ROOTDEVNAME=\"cd9660:acd0c\"

    which is the way to do it in 4.5

    but from 4.8 it has changed to

    options ROOTDEVNAME=\"cd9660:acd0\"

    rather than having people spend endless hours trying to figure out what went
    wrong.
