Unable to run linux kernel image on qemu

Unable to run linux kernel image on qemu

I have compiled the linux kernel (stable) from the tree and got the initrd
and bzImage. I try running it on the qemu emulator but I am having trouble
specifying the root file system partition. (I know that this is the
partition thats loaded to run initrd from).
My system is Ubuntu 12.04 installed via Wubi on Windows.
The command i have been using is
qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel bzImage -initrd initrd.img-3.11 -append
"root=/no-clue-what-to-put"
I know root is argument that specifies where the root partition is. Any
help to get this image running on qemu would be appreciated.
