Hi All,
Iam using kernel 2.4.8 (ac12 patch)

partition sizes : 1MB (boot loafder + kernel)
13 MB ( cramfs as root file system)
2 MB (jffs2 partition)

The kernel boot up till init in 6sec and then init takes 5secs....till
i get the login prompt.
Iam using nicoramdisks init.

Is there any way i can reduce the boot time
Any pointers where i can get the init source file ( version 2.74)

Thanks and regards
ashok
