Maybe it's reasonable for the initramfs to utilize a config file from |
| 17 |
/etc of the future root filesystem, but having in depend on files from |
| 18 |
the future /usr seems like a strange idea. Wouldn't it make more sense |
| 19 |
to bundle all dependencies into the initramfs, so that it's mostly |
| 20 |
self-contained, rather than have it be dependent on files from the |
| 21 |
future root filesystem (or future /usr)? |
