Hello all,

I'm currently testing a patch to generate an initrd image for MAAS with
partial success.

The fix for the network is working well. However, when attempting to
start a server via PXE using MAAS, strange errors are raised:

Warning: Type of the root file system is unknown, so skipping the check.
mount: bad address 'squash'

This leads to an initramfs prompt.

Here are the steps I follow to generate an initramfs:

1. Apply the patch to the script based on /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts.
2. Run the mkinitramfs command.
3. Copy the new initrd file to MAAS.
4. Start the server to boot by network.

I couldn't find clear documentation regarding generation and
troubleshooting. Additionally, I'm unsure if this is the right place to
ask questions about this issue.
