Good day, sometimes, you depend on an initramfs to do stuff for you before the rootfs is available. Busybox has become the standard for "all your initramfs needs", but tbh, I hate working with it. Statically linking sbase and ubase and choosing the tools you need for the job almost solves the problem, but the lack of switch_root, which almost every initramfs depends on, forces you to use busybox (because util-linux doesn't link statically).
Now, I would've already sent in a patch, but I am pretty sure somebody here already hacked it together before. So, to save my time, I better ask now. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
