[PATCH] kexec: fix references to init in documentation for kexec

I've noticed that the boot options are not correct for in the documentation
for kdump.  The "init" keyword is not necessary, and causes a kernel panic
when booting with an initrd on Fedora 5.

* You must specify <root-dev> in the format corresponding to the root

* "init 1" boots the dump-capture kernel into single-user mode without

* Boot parameter "1" boots the dump-capture kernel into single-user
