initramfs-tools 0.69ubuntu20 (ia64 binary) in ubuntu feisty
This package contains tools to create and boot an initramfs for prepackaged
2.6 Linux kernel. The initramfs is a gzipped cpio archive. At boot time, the
kernel unpacks that archive into RAM, mounts and uses it as initial root file
system. From there on the mounting of the real root file system occurs in user
space. klibc handles the boot-time networking setup. Having the root on NFS
is also supported.
Any boot loader with initrd support is able to load an initramfs archive.
