-This document describes one way to create the initrd directory hierarchy
-in order to allow an initrd to be built into your kernel. The trick
-here is to steal the initrd file used on your Linux laptop, Ubuntu in
-this case. There are probably much better ways of doing this.
-
-That said, here are the commands:
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-zcat /initrd.img > /tmp/initrd.img.zcat
-mkdir initrd
-cd initrd
-cpio -id < /tmp/initrd.img.zcat
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Interestingly enough, if you are running rcutorture, you don't really
-need userspace in many cases. Running without userspace has the
-advantage of allowing you to test your kernel independently of the
-distro in place, the root-filesystem layout, and so on. To make this
-happen, put the following script in the initrd's tree's "/init" file,
-with 0755 mode.
