OT, but your docPatch made me think of another way to init the kernel;
via tmpfs, i.e. initTmpFS.
Can anybody see how that could be useful?
Sounds like somebody tried this before?
tmpfs needs
a *LOT* more of the system to be fully operational than ramfs, and the
rootfs is initialized very early on, since one of its purposes is to
eliminate special cases.
So would it be possible to remap rootfs from ramfs to tmpfs, once tmpfs is initialized, without actually doing another cpio?
