Bug#707583: initramfs-tools: clarify documentation on break parameter



Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.112
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

When reading man 8 initramfs-tools I was wondering whether the shell
spawned due to break=something would be spawned before or after the
corresponding scripts. I suggest to apply the attached patch to clarify
this.

+(top, modules, premount, mount, mountroot, bottom, init)

+(see section boot scripts) or action.
 The default is premount without any arg.
 Beware that if both "panic" and "break" are present,
 initramfs will not spawn any shells but reboot instead.
