[...] I don't even need that detail in my command line. (This box has five RAID-1 partitions, composed of identical partitions on identical SATA disks.) Mine just looks like this: kernel /boot/kernel-x86_64-2.6.27-gentoo root=/dev/md0 vga=0x31A video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap fbcon=scrollback:128k splash=silent The md code in the kernel manages to find all the partitions at boot time and stitches them together properly.
