| 14 | You can use a linuxrc instead of an initramfs as long as your root |
| 15 | filesystem can be mounted automatically via kernel parameters, and that |
| 16 | root filesystem contains the necessary userspace tools (like busybox and |
| 17 | lvm) to mount everthing else that's required to be mounted before init |
| 18 | starts. |
