Description Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-04 11:13:22 UTC 
What $subj says.

ATM genkernel makes the initramfs start the real root system parsing the real_root variable. So it would be cool to have an option so you don't need to modify the boot loader parameters, just simply booting the initramfs, the initramfs would know whats the real root system.

Thanks
