Bug#337682: initramfs-tools: ROOT=probe not implemented.

[Sven Luther <luther@debian.org>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Severity: wishlist


initramfs-tools generated ramdisk don't allow not passing the root filesystem
in the command line, which would be probed at ramdisk boot time. This is a
regression from initrd-tools which supported this feature.

The way it works is to have the ramdisk generation detect the root partition,
and use it as default if not overriden by the kernel command line.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
