I'll have a look at the GRUB documentation.
I remember now that I stopped using LibraNet's pre-packaged kernels because
of a problem I caused with its initrd. I created an unbootable system.
I understand now the purpose of initrd; I've just never used it myself.
The kernels I've been building with make-kpkg have never required an
initrd, so is there much benefit to studying how to do it?
