Re: grub.conf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



One more question.
I am using following grub.conf.

title  Linux Init Break
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda6 init=/bin/sh
initrd /initrd.gz

Control comes to the shell command prompt. But the filesystem I am seeing
is not initrd filesystem.
Is it possible to access initrd file system ?

Thanks
Sachin
