People can always manually pass a root=/dev/ram parameter if they need to start an initrd. The downside of always passing root=/dev/ram if root is not set in the environment is that imho starting the Debian initramfs with root=/dev/ram is worse than starting it without any root option at all. I might be wrong though; maybe it doesn't make a difference in real life. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
