Hi,
I was playing around with RH's rescue mode. On bootup the kernel loads a
initrd written on the cd. What is strange is that the initrd does not have
/dev mounted anywhere, infact no device files are there in the initrd. (
as seen by mounting it over loop device)
However in rescue it can create those files dynamically. i.e if i give
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /mnt/hdd it creates the dev file in /tmp and then
mounts the hard disk partition. Before this mount call the hda2 device
file is not there in /tmp. It gets created on the fly
No special modules were also loaded, so who is intercepting the mount call
to dynamically creating the kernel. Is that a tweaked kernel or a
different version of mount which creates the device files.
Hi mukund, it would be great if you could write a howto about using initrd
for live cd's, sometime
