SYNOPSIS
update-initramfs [-k version] [-c] [-u] [-t] [-v] [-b] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The update-initramfs script manages your initramfs images on your
local
box. It keeps track of the existing initramfs archives in
/boot.
There are three modes of operation create, update or delete. You
must
at least specify one of those modes.
The initramfs is a gzipped cpio archive. At boot time, the
kernel
unpacks that archive into RAM disk, mounts and uses it as initial
root
file system. All finding of the root device happens in this
early
userspace.
