MKINITRD.YAIRD(8)
NAME
mkinitrd.yaird - mkinitrd for initramfs
SYNOPSIS
mkinitrd.yaird -odestination [version]
DESCRIPTION
Mkinitrd.yaird is a wrapper around yaird(8) that accepts the same command line arguments as the Debian program mkinitrd(8), a tool to create
an initial boot image.
- To let yaird build the initial boot image when a Debian kernel package
is installed, rather than the default mkinitrd, put the following line
in /etc/kernel-img.conf:
- ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird
- Support for the ramdisk variable is built into the kernel package; it is available in Debian kernels packaged since june 2005.
OPTIONS
- -odestination
- Place result here. The destination must not exist yet. There is no default for this option.
- -mcommand
- This option is ignored.
- version
- The kernel version for which the initial boot image is to be generated.
