[PATCH] kexec: fix references to init in documentation for kexec

Browse source

for kdump.  The "init" keyword is not necessary, and causes a kernel panic
when booting with an initrd on Fedora 5.

* You must specify <root-dev> in the format corresponding to the root

* "init 1" boots the dump-capture kernel into single-user mode without
networking. If you want networking, use "init 3."
* Boot parameter "1" boots the dump-capture kernel into single-user
