Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92o
Severity: normal
Because of a failed boot (bug #489008) after an upgrade to Lenny, I was
dropped into the initramfs shell, which I used to figure out how to specify
my root file system using a label in grub. This was made slightly more difficult
by the absence of a working pager; 'more' is present but behaves like
'cat'. Thus, 'find | more' is almost useless.
Of course there are work-arounds, e.g., 'find | grep ...'.
