Actually, no you don't.
The real root is created "on the fly" with mknod with the major,minor
numbers supplied from the kernel (/proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev).
See /usr/share/initrd-tools/init for details.
(at least thats how I read the code, I don't claim to be an expert on

/proc/cmdline directly).
