Seems good, your patch. I only have minor changes (on top of your
proposed patch), so I will go ahead and send my first patch.
One change concerns « mount the target root partition ». Generally, it
is said one mounts a « file system », though it may depend on ones
choice of abstractions°. I will go with « file system » if there is no
rebuttal to this.

° If one mounts a filesystem, this involves connecting to the partition
(available as a block device); as such, one could say you mount a
partition/device. A partition typically contains one filesystem, so
it is typically unambiguous to say you mount a partition. But the
verboseness of this argument suggests that it is better to say one
mounts filesystems rather than partitions.
