Re: [PATCH] core-image-minimal-initramfs: prepare initramfs for NFS boot

["André Draszik" <git@andred.net>]

Hi.

It'd be nice if this was part of initramfs-framework instead.

In particular some devices need a bit more than ifconfig & route, e.g.
configuration of SoC internal Ethernet switches.

As it is, this patch is not very generic, whereas if it was integrated with
the initramfs-framework, another module could take care of the driver /
hardware specifics, and this module would just do the actual mounting of the
ROOTFS.

The remaining bits, like mount --move of /proc are also already part of
initramfs-framework.

That way, this new addition would be useful on a wide range of devices.


Cheers,
Andre'
