Actually, no you don't. The real root is created "on the fly" with mknod with the major,minor numbers supplied from the kernel (/proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev). See /usr/share/initrd-tools/init for details. (at least thats how I read the code, I don't claim to be an expert on this file, under certain circumstances it would appear to parse the /proc/cmdline directly). -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
