mips still uses an initrd for d-i but it sets CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y explicitly in the mips config, so that's fine. I noticed that some i386 floppy images use ext2, but I've no idea how the floppy images work. i386/floppy/net-drivers-1.cfg:INITRD_FS=ext2 i386/floppy/net-drivers-3.cfg:INITRD_FS = ext2 i386/floppy/cd-drivers.cfg:INITRD_FS=ext2 i386/floppy/net-drivers-2.cfg:INITRD_FS = ext2 -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
