Bug#58836: boot-floppies: [documentation] Replacing kernel on boot floppy: inconsistent with readme.txt
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.7
Severity: important
The readme.txt file on the rescue disk and the installation documents that
it produces do not seem to be in sync.
While readme.txt advises initrd, ramdisk, loop, msdos, fat, elf, ext2fs and
procfs to be linked in the kernel, the installation manual advises
initrd (depends on ramdisk), fat, minix, ext2fs and elf. My feeling
is that the union of these services is required for a running bootdisk
kernel.
Thanks,
