As fstab is the correct and standardized way to specify mount points,
I do not see the advantages of adding confusion by providing another
way to specify which device to check for the root file system to
handle a broken configuration with no root entry in /etc/fstab.

How did you loose your root entry from /etc/fstab.

Happy hacking,
