2007-07-19initramfs: New modular initramfs for booting kernel from various media.Alex Osborne1
* Design principles: * This initramfs just mounts roots and runs init on it, nothing else. * Whenever possible, existing kernel parameters are used. When extended boot methods are provided, new parameters mimick/adhere to existing conventions. * System is modular/pluggable - each mount method is in own module with more or less well defined interface, it's possible to construct complete system with any combination of modules. * Modules includes: initramfs-module-loop, initramfs-module-nfs, to boot from loop devices (including recursive loops) and NFS, correspondingly.
