Ahha! It matters where it goes in the argument line. If I put it in
the middle right after ro (changed to rw) then I get a kp. If I put it
at the end of the line where quiet rhgb are, then I don't get a kp.

However, after changing the root password, the command reboot is not
found. And exit causes a kernel panic!
