[PATCH 13/13] init/do_mounts.c: add virtio_fs root fs support

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

 



It is useful to mount the root file system via virtio_fs.  During
testing a monolithic kernel is more convenient than an initramfs but
we'll need to teach the kernel how to boot directly from virtio_fs.
