I don't think this is good advice. It is much better to use the UUID, "root=UUID=..." where the UUID can be found by blkid . In my experience, /dev/sda can become /dev/sdb under CentOS when a USB stick is inserted.
How very odd. I don't think I've *ever* seen that behavior, when a system is running on /dev/sda<whatever> as root. Now, *booting* from a USB drive, that's what I see 100% of the time, which was why I suggested editing it on the flash drive....
