Sorry for the late reply...I've been on offline (vacation) for several days. |

pivot_root is specifically *not* allowed from an initramfs |
| 11 |
environment. What you want to do is simply mount the new root |
| 12 |
filesystem, chroot into it, and execute init. Something like: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
cd /new_root ; exec ./bin/chroot . ./sbin/init "$@" >dev/console |
| 15 |
<dev/console 2>&1 |
| 16 |

If you are *extremely* tricky, and use a symlinked /lib directory, you |
| 18 |
can actually delete everything from the initramfs before doing the |
| 19 |
chroot/init calls. Let me know if you need some more details on this. |
