Subject: [PATCH v2] initrd: add recovery feature
Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:12:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1352841144-31228-1-git-send-email-radu.moisan@intel.com> (raw)
Allows you to use as root a partition instead of the rootfs.img
for recovering an old install, and fails safe when no rootfs is
found, dropping the user to a shell if something goes wrong.
