bound to the kernel and loaded as part of the kernel boot procedure. The
kernel then mounts this initrd as part of the two-stage boot process to
load the modules to make the real file systems available and get at the

We were just at
BIOS->MBR->bootloader
I guess this is wot u r looking for ..not sure thou..

loader (loadlin or lilo) and that is mounted as root before the normal
boot procedure is done and is typically used to load modules needed to
mount the original root f

hello experts,,
I am starting out and heavily *confused* for the part of linux kernel boot::
*(plz. do rectify me at all the wrong places)*
