Unclear reference to kernel-parameters.txt in help system

[Alexey Balmashnov]

Binary package hint: debian-installer

See F1->F5->F7 screen.

Note below "table" suggests: "This list is incomplete, see the kernel's kernel-parameters.txt file for more."

As far as I can tell, this file is not accessible on the CD, and it is not clear where one should look for it.

It could maybe point to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions which lists more of them and also links to the upstream file in question.

Not the right assignee - please avoid assigning people to bugs unless you are absolutely sure that they are the right person to work on and implement a fix.
