You're not misremembering, but you're also not considering that current distributions don't boot the system using initrd, only initramfs. The boot process then differs significantly. Please see more information about initramfs in Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt in Linux sources. -- Luciano Rocha <luciano@xxxxxxxxxxx> Eurotux Informática, S.A. <http://www.eurotux.com/>
