No, these just get the boot going. From that point on the installer needs to find the installation materials. The parms I showed are what I use to install RHEL in a VM guest. The initrd only holds enough code to get a working system up that the anaconda installer can exploit. Once the basic installer is ready it needs to find the 7.6 distribution materials to run the installation and where the packages live. Note the INITRD while large is not big enough for every RPM in the distribution. So what that extra line tells the installer is where it can find the things it needs to do setup a working system (e.g, it looks for install.img on the ISO image in the images directory).
