It will in fact be in the certificate:

    andrew@ad-c7:tmp $ openssl req -new -nodes  -out root.csr -keyout
    root.key -subj "/CN=root.yourdomain.com"
    Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
    ...+++
    .......................+++
    writing new private key to 'root.key'
    -----
    andrew@ad-c7:tmp $ openssl x509 -req -in root.csr -days 3650
    -extfile /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf -extensions v3_ca -signkey
    root.key -out root.crt
    Signature ok
    subject=/CN=root.yourdomain.com
    Getting Private key
    andrew@ad-c7:tmp $ openssl x509 -in root.crt -noout -text

I'm not opposed to simplifying the instructions, however.
