Subject: Initrd or Cdrom as root
Date: Tue, 14 May 2002 12:41:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <016f01c1fb33$d97baef0$8f2b76d9@dead2> (raw)

Is there any way to dynamically load initrd or cdrom permanently as
the root fs when booting from cdrom?

My problem is that I need a reliable way to ALWAYS find the correct
device to mount. Is there any way to make the kernel automagically
mount the cdrom it booted from?
I believe that for example SuSE installer cd does this, but I cannot figure
out how they do it.

If on initrd, I need about 300MB space on the root fs.

If this is not possible, what do I need to modify in the kernel?
