I gave it a try, and it was working perfectly for me by simply adding "root=/dev/sda1" in uEnv.txt.
In my case, I'm running Ubuntu with longsleep kernel 3.10.101+ built myself, but I've never added any thing for USB storage, longsleep has the proper setting already.
What is your kernel revision ?
What kind of USB storage ?
