# Create an initial ramdisk containing the closure of the specified
|
|
# file system objects. An initial ramdisk is used during the initial
|
|
# stages of booting a Linux system. It is loaded by the boot loader
|
|
# along with the kernel image. It's supposed to contain everything
|
|
# (such as kernel modules) necessary to allow us to mount the root
|
|
# file system. Once the root file system is mounted, the `real' boot
|
|
# script can be called.

#
|
|
# An initrd is really just a gzipped cpio archive.
|
|

|
|
# Symlinks are created for each top-level file system object. E.g.,
|
|
# `contents = {object = ...; symlink = /init;}' is a typical
|
|
# argument.
