Касательно initramfs -- попалась краткая вводная статья для разработчиков. ----- Forwarded message from "LinuxDevices.com" ----- INTRODUCING INITRAMFS, A NEW MODEL FOR INITIAL RAM DISKS This clear, technical article introduces initramfs, a Linux 2.6 feature that enables an initial root filesystem and init program to reside in the kernel's memory cache, rather than on a ramdisk (as with initrd filesystems). Compared to initrd, intramfs can increase boot-time flexibility, memory efficiency, and simplicity, the author says. One especially interesting feature for embedded Linux developers is that relatively simple, deeply embedded systems can use initramfs as their sole filesystem. http://ct.enews.deviceforge.com/rd/cts?d=207-96-2-28-11164-7516-0-0-0-1 [Copyright (c) 2006 Ziff Davis Media Inc, 28 East 28th Street, New York, NY 10016.
