mkinitrd.yaird8
Mkinitrd for initramfs
Usage
mkinitrd.yaird -odestination
[version]
Overview
Mkinitrd.yaird is a wrapper around yaird(8) that accepts the same command line arguments as the Debian program mkinitrd(8), a tool to create an initial boot image.
To let yaird build the initial boot image when a Debian kernel package is installed, rather than the default mkinitrd, put the following line in /etc/kernel-img.conf:
ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird
Support for the ramdisk variable is built into the kernel package; it is available in Debian kernels packaged since june 2005.
