This is description of kernel parameter from book "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell".
rootdelay Time to delay before attempting to mount the root filesystem.
rootdelay=n
Wait n seconds before trying to mount the root filesystem. This can
be useful if the root filesystem is on a USB or FireWire device, as
those disk devices take a bit longer to be discovered by the kernel.
