The line in lilo.conf tells where to find the initrd image
The image itself is read into memory and mounted as the
initial ram disk
so that the startups can begin working....
next it mounts the root image read-only... check for a previous proper
unmount, etc, just as you see flash by on the console as linux is starting up.
I am sure there are many more who can describe the boot procedure better.
