Won't the kernel be oversized with the initramfs making its usage irrelevant with the sparc64 architecture ?[snip]
I tested the initramfs today.The usage is quite dumb. Create the cpio file. Use it like the initrd on the boot command line. Full stop.
Work Ok used in this way. I need to check for the initramfs you link with the kernel.As erik (author of the yaird) stated, no need to copy the Debian-initrd.cfg to templates.cfg. Do it only if you want to use the old cramfs format. Erik is planning to drop the cramfs format at once.
