INTRODUCING INITRAMFS, A NEW MODEL FOR INITIAL RAM DISKS
This clear, technical article introduces initramfs, a Linux 2.6 feature
that enables an initial root filesystem and init program to reside in
the kernel's memory cache, rather than on a ramdisk (as with initrd
filesystems). Compared to initrd, intramfs can increase boot-time
flexibility, memory efficiency, and simplicity, the author says.  One
especially interesting feature for embedded Linux developers is that
relatively simple, deeply embedded systems can use initramfs as their
sole filesystem.
