Actually I had not read it in quite a number of years, did this morning, and
you are entirely correct. Perhaps all those years ago when an initrd was
required at times, I'd just held onto my mkinitrd script and didn't want to
change; and since there's no need for an initrd now, I didn't actually read
it, but clung to incorrect memories.
Thanks for the rebuke. ;)
