Which architecture still uses kernel 2.2 with d-i? I thought that the plan was to move all architectures to 2.4 for debian-installer.I now realize this doesn't help, as some architectures still use linux 2.2, which doesn't have tmpfs. As a consequence we can't just use the "tmpfs" name and use options that don't apply everywhere.
Because d-i uses devfs it is not trivial to support it on 2.2. gaudenz
