From my recent experiments it looks like in order to be able to use
initramfs not compiled into the kernel image but loaded from separate

Am I right? If so, could somebody split initramfs and initrd (not only
at configuration level but also at code level)? Shouldn't they be
separated (and possibly initrd removed after some time)? In the mean
time it should be documented in *config help.
Actually, most of CONFIG_INITRD is about being able to pick up the
second load datum, so it makes sense on the code level at least.
Also somebody should add more documentation about initramfs (generating,
writing scripts, producing image, the right method for chroot /
pivot_root / ...). It took me whole week to find it out myself and I
still have some doubths...
Yes, that would be good.
