Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: manpages

$ man 4 initrd

$ man initrd
What happens
============
Explanations are:

- about kernel 2.4 boot process : current kernels are 2.6
- about lilo boot loader : grub has replaced lilo
What was expected
===============
See explanations:
- about file /boot/initrd.img-(version)
- about kernel 2.6 boot process
- about grub 2 integration
OR
See nothing.
Way to fix
