[patch] initrd.4: "normal root file" should read "...file system" in one location

[patch] initrd.4: "normal root file" should read "...file system" in one location

[FeRD]

This is admittedly minor, and pretty obvious contextually, but for 
correctness' sake....

Item 7 of the "Boot-Up Operation" listing discusses, "If the normal root 
file has directory /initrd..." -- this should clearly read "file 
system". Patch against the latest git sources follows.
