Subject: Unknown initrd commands

Message-ID: <N1N-uRW2YWBw5x@Safe-mail.net> (raw)

I have been digging around a few times online, and have not been able to find where some commands invoked from the Fedora init script are located.

The contents of the script are as follows along with some notes that I've added:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/nash

mount -t proc /proc /proc

setquiet
   # nash: cause any late echos in this start script not to be displayed

echo Mounting proc filesystem

modprobe -q pata_via
echo Waiting for driver initialization.

stabilized --hash --interval 250 /proc/scsi/scsi
   # ?

resume /dev/sda2
   # ?

echo Creating root device.
mkrootdev -t ext3 -o defaults,ro /dev/sda1
echo Mounting root filesystem.
mount /sysroot
echo Setting up other filesystems.

setuproot
   # ?

loadpolicy
   # ?

echo Switching to new root and running init.

switchroot
   # nash command

echo Booting has failed.
sleep -1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where are these commands documented? Also, do initrd/nash have a home page? 

Thanks! 

By the way, please include my safemail e-mail in responses as I am not subscribed to the list.
