Sure, and / might come from FC, USB, SATA, iSCSI or similar too. A difference is that the initramfs isn't available once you start init in your real /. The logical conclusion is then to start udev from the initramfs, something we already do. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
