initrd loading of boot-modules
Dear Rene Mayrhofer,
There is a related problem to the one you are solving: machines with a
PC-Card floppy drive need to use the floppy MODULE thus cannot easily load
the initrd filesystem. Is this something that you thought about? Would
it, for example, be possible to include the initrd filesystem in the actual
kernel image loaded by the BIOS? (I know that in the usual case this has
inferior performance and reliability but it would really be nice if we
could easily boot subnotebooks into Debian without ever needing DOS or any
DOS-derived operating system. :)
Best regards,
Kristoffer
