If you are doing the install then it would be the floppy (or CD-ROM). You
boot commmand might look like this:
>>boot dva0 -fi vmlinux.gz -fl "root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1"
If this is after the install, then it is whatever you setup during the
install for your root fs.

That's a question for SuSE, haven't tried this myself, though I think it's
