Do you mind a sentence why we need to drop this option starting from OCP 4.22 since the documentation changed. The reason is because coreos installer will handle automatically the setting of root. Now instead of pointing to the root disk by label which might cause some partition collision, we will refer it by uuid, and the coreos installer will automatically add the option root=/dev/disk/by-label/dm-mpath-$UUID
