From 6e19eded3684dc184181093af3bff2ff440f5b53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Landley Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:26:13 -0700 Subject: initmpfs: use initramfs if rootfstype= or root= specified Command line option rootfstype=ramfs to obtain old initramfs behavior, and use ramfs instead of tmpfs for stub when root= defined (for cosmetic reasons).
