Try "Linux root=/dev/hdb1" (note the capital letter).

Because during the installation, you were asked if you wanted to include
other partitions. So the partition was added. You can remove it if you
want.

Right at the beginning, before you pressed <ENTER> the first time, there

And please only quote the parts of the message you are referring to, not
simply everything.
