Yes, the invokation is specified in detail. There just isn't any
documentation of what it actually does, to enable you to e.g. do it by
hand or have a guess at fixing it if it goes wrong. That is just too
risky for me.

You cannot upgrade from Fedora 16 to Fedora 17 in an OpenVZ guest,
because those don't run an initrd at all (or even a separate kernel).
