I have looked at the document and have no idea of what to include in a root= phrase. Apparently no one else does or they would mention a universal root= that just works as well as Fedora 16 pxeboot did without a root= phrase.
I'm not sure why you didn't look at the *other* reply to your question, which directed you to the appropriate bug report:

Where you find the appropriate parameter - it seems to be approximately "root=live:(path_to_squashfs.img_from_build_to_install)"
Between a broken pxeboot and an anaconda that flips out when it sees the wrong version of Linux on the hard drive, I would think folks would wish to get a robust install experience before proclaiming a public beta.
The beta doesn't go out for another month or so. This is the alpha.
