This suggests the parameters provided by the boot loader will override
corresponding parameters of the default kernel command string. Is that

Either way, shouldn't it be documented, perhaps in this help text, what
will happen if a parameter of the default kernel command string and a
parameter provided by the boot loader somehow conflict?
