from where comes the initramfs that's part of the fedora-supplied kernel package? i'm curious about the first part of its init script: mount -t proc /proc /proc setquiet echo Mounting proc filesystem echo Mounting sysfs filesystem mount -t sysfs /sys /sys ... first and pedantically, one would think that you should print that you're mounting the proc filesystem *before* you actually try it. :-)
That is a bit odd.
and where does one find utilities like "setquiet"? since the contents of the initramfs are being run in userspace, where does one find init-referenced utilities like setquiet, hotplug and mkblkdevs, among others? they're not part of the initramfs image, so where do they come from? (and, yes, i'm prepared for that to be a stupid question. :-)
