Description Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-12 12:09:19 UTC
In chapter "Installing the kernel and a System Logger" there is a note that sais:

"""
It is vital that a gentoo=notmpfs flag be added to the kernel line in
/boot/grub/grub.conf for the 2.2 kernel so that a ramdisk is mounted for the
boot scripts instead of tmpfs.
"""

This should read something like

"""
It is vital that a gentoo=notmpfs flag be added to the kernel line in
/boot/grub/grub.conf or to the append line in /etc/lilo.conf for the 2.2 kernel
so that a ramdisk is mounted for the boot scripts instead of tmpfs.
"""
