Apparently it is important.  I just discovered /var/log/kern.log,
which logs things that happen even before / is mounted.

Here is the relevant part:

Oct 23 08:18:39 k2 kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with writeback data mode.
Oct 23 08:18:39 k2 kernel: VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly on 
device 8:7.
Oct 23 08:18:39 k2 kernel: Freeing unused kernel memory: 256k freed
Oct 23 08:18:39 k2 kernel: kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
Oct 23 08:18:39 k2 kernel: udev: starting version 141

No such warning for me.  The question is why not?  Any ideas?
