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

 



Linux commit v4.10-rc1~40^2~86^2~4 moves initrd documentation from
Documentation/initrd.txt to Documentation/admin-quide/initrd.rst.

Amend pointer to in-kernel initrd documentation with change introduced
in Linux 4.10 (move to Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst).
* man5/proc.5 (.SS Files and directories)
<.TP .I /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev>: Likewise.
* man7/bootparam.7 (.SS Boot arguments for ramdisk use)
<.TP .B 'noinitrd'>: Likewise.
