INITRAMFS.CONF(5)                     initramfs.conf manual                     INITRAMFS.CONF(5)



NAME
       initramfs.conf - configuration file for mkinitramfs


DESCRIPTION
       The behaviour of mkinitramfs can be modified by its configuration file.

       Each  line  in  the  file can be a configuration variable, a blank line, or a comment. The
       value of an variable is assigned by an statement of the form: name=[value]

       Configuration options can be broken out into configuration snippets and placed in individ-
       ual  files  in  the /etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d directory.  Files in this directory are always
       read after the main configuration file, so you can override the settings in the main  con-
       fig file without editing it directly.


GENERAL VARIABLES
        MODULES
              Specifies the modules for the initramfs image.  The default setting is most.

              most  adds all the framebuffer, acpi, file system, ide, sata, scsi and usb drivers.

              dep tries to guess which modules are necessary for the running box.

              netboot adds the base modules, network modules, but skips block devices.

              list includes only modules from the additional modules list to load them early.


        BUSYBOX
              Include busybox utilities for the boot scripts.  If set  to  'n'  mkinitramfs  will
              build  an  initramfs  without  busybox.  Beware that many boot scripts need busybox
              utilities.


        KEYMAP
              If set to 'y', the console keymap will be loaded during the initramfs  stage.   The
              keymap  will anyway be loaded by the initscripts later, and the packages that might
              need input will normally set this variable automatically, so there should  normally
              be no need to set this.


NFS VARIABLES
        BOOT  Allows  to  use an nfs drive as the root of the drive.  The default is to boot from
              local media (hard drive, USB stick).  Set to nfs for an NFS root share.


        DEVICE
              Specifies the network interface, like eth0.


        ROOT  Allows optional root bootarg hardcoding, when no root bootarg  can  be  passed.   A
              root bootarg overrides that special setting.


        NFSROOT
              Defaults to auto in order to pick up value from DHCP server.  Otherwise you need to
              specify HOST:MOUNT.
