I see you've received explaintion for /opt. /initrd shouldn't be
completely empty. It should have one file. In a term, type
~ $ less /initrd/README.WARNING or use an editor to read it.
Now just in case this README is missing, here's what it says,
"(mkinitrd) Don't remove this directory, it's needed at boot time,
in the initrd, to perform the pivot_root."
