can anyone point me towards some howto's or documentation that shows how one might replace an existing busybox based initrd with a systemd one?
obviously this is a bit of a loaded question as you have no idea what i'm doing in the initrd, but i'm not sure where to get started. to break it down simply; with busybox, i can compile a kernel, compile busybox, add my junk to the init script and then make an initrd image that the kernel loads. at the end of the initrd if all "my junk" worked, I then switchroot to boot up a linux o/s i want to basically do the same thing with systemd, take a kernel, hand off to an initrd where systemd would start a shell if needed (like busybox does) or switchroot to boot up the o/s i know systemd doesn't provide all the little utils that busybox does, but that's okay, i can just pull them into the initrd i've spun myself in google circles at this point and need some straightening out and the system switch-root/initrd pages are a little to terse _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
