Subject: 2.4.20 (ramdisk device naming at boot time(/dev/ramdisk/<n>) vs. after devfs is mounted(/dev/rd/<n>))
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 09:56:33 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E25A0D1.1020004@fourelle.com> (raw)
In the 2.4.20 kernel, when using DEVFS the ramdisk naming is
inconsistent. /dev/ramdisk/0 works for the kernel parameter initrd=
while /dev/rd/0 works in fstab.
For clarity: before DEVFS loads it must be referenced as /dev/ramdisk/0,
yet DEVFS registers /dev/rd/<n>
