Yes, but it is not within the scope of LFS. It's not our purpose to directly support every possible hardware and software configuration. Things like this don't even belong in BLFS, but can go in a hint. The general idea of a initrd may be a candidate for BLFS. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
