Title: Yaird -- Yet Another Mkinitrd
Author: Erik van Konijnenburg
Abstract:  This memo discusses the design goals and implementation of
 Yaird (Yet Another mkInitRD), a proof-of-concept application to create
 an initial boot image, a minimal filesystem used to bring a booting
 Linux kernel to a level where it can access the root file system and
 use startup scripts to bring the system to the normal run level. It
 differs from earlier mkinitrd implementations in that it leverages the
 information in sysfs to minimise the number of special cases that the
 application has to know about, and in that it uses a template system to
 separate the analysis of the system from the building of the image.
