Hi!
Hey, I'm trying to get FC5 to work with coLinux
(http://www.colinux.org). I've got it so that it boots just fine --
however, apparently FC5 creates its /dev device nodes at boot time, via
a script run from initrd. Since coLinux doesn't execute this initrd,
most of the devices normally available in /dev simply aren't there when
I boot via coLinux. I'm trying to figure out how to extract the initrd
so I can find the script and migrate it over to something that gets
executed when coLinux boots. Any pointers?

Clint,
The initrd image is a compressed cpio archive. You can uncompress it
with gunzip and cpio its contents.
Bob..
Ahh, thanks. Everything I was googling was saying that it was a gzipped
ext2 filesystem, but trying to mount it as such wasn't working. Cpio
did the trick.
