- Is anyone willing to tell me how to make a boot disk with a ramdisk
- root?
-
- I think I know how to make a ramdisk, set the size, make it the
- root device (all with rdev), etc.
-
- I don't know if there is standard code (to insert into the Kernel's
- main?) for loading the contents of the ramdisk from the rest of the
- boot disk.
-
- I need to build something like the SLS, only with a custom kernel and
- particular files.
-
-
- Thanks
