Quote:
The special file /dev/initrd is a read-only block device.
Device /dev/initrd is a RAM disk that is initialized (e.g.
loaded) by the boot loader before the kernel is started.
The kernel then can use the the block device /dev/initrd's
contents for a two phased system boot-up.
In the first boot-up phase, the kernel starts up and
mounts an initial root file-system from the contents of
/dev/initrd (e.g. RAM disk initialized by the boot
loader). In the second phase, additional drivers or other
modules are loaded from the initial root device's con-
tents. After loading the additional modules, a new root
file system (i.e. the normal root file system) is mounted
from a different device.
