I just took the time I needed to write an initramfs from scratch |

The same when rootfs fails? Only the fact that initramfs is less likely |
| 28 |
to break than rootfs, and you have a pretty good opportunity now to |

experiment with it while nothing on your system made it useless without |
| 30 |
one. |
