The "root" in grub terms does *not* correlate to the root device for
your Linux kernel! The grub root device is where grub expects to find
the kernel; i.e., this should be wherever /boot is, *not* where /root
is!

Your kernel's root device is specified to the kernel with a kernel
command line parameter. Not with the grub "root" parameter!
