All right. Sometimes when you are very familiar with something, you
have trouble seeing things from a new user perspective. What specific
wording would you suggest.
What about:
The "set root" command refers to *GRUB's* root partition, i.e. the
partition on which GRUB expects to find grub.cfg. This is logically
quite separate from the root instruction given on the kernel command
lines (which tells the kernel wehere to look for /sbin/init).
All kernel and initrd addresses must be given relative to GRUB's root.
If you are using a separate boot partition (as recommended for a
multi-boot system) whose root directory contains all your kernels,
then the paths should be of the form /vmlinuz-x.y.z.

Thanks. I like the text but added a small tweak in the parens for
consideration (not to wordsmith, but for clarity).

quite separate from the root instruction given on the kernel command

Just to clarify, you are referring to the text in the note in Section
8.4.4. Creating the GRUB Configuration File, right?

Yes, that is correct.
