From: Rob Landley Subject: [PATCH 5/5] initmpfs: Use initramfs if rootfstype= or root= specified. To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: Al Viro Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Stephen Warren Cc: Andrew Morton From: Rob Landley Command line option rootfstype=ramfs to obtain old initramfs behavior, and use ramfs instead of tmpfs for stub when root= defined (for cosmetic reasons).
