Actually, I see now that it is a command: grub_rescue_cmd_root() in 
kern/rescue.c. Is that only a rescue mode thing? That seems to be 
exactly what I need... aside from the very confusing use of "root" 
meaning where GRUB finds the kernel and "root" meaning where Linux 
finds /sbin/init.

I cannot find any grub_env_get("root") callers.
