Subject: kexec: fix references to init in documentation for kexec
From: Horms <horms@verge.net.au>
I've noticed that the boot options are not correct for in the documentation
for kdump. The "init" keyword is not necessary, and causes a kernel panic
when booting with an initrd on Fedora 5.
[horms@verge.net.au: put original comment with the latest version of the patch]
