Howdy,

I been messing with this init thing again.  I installed dracut, Googled 
like a mad man and finally got something to work, I think.  Here is some 
info:

root@fireball / # dmesg | grep dracut
[    3.378296] dracut: Checking reiserfs: /dev/sda3
[    3.378644] dracut: issuing reiserfsck -a  /dev/sda3
[    3.391728] dracut: Reiserfs super block in block 16 on 0x803 of 
format 3.6 with standard journal
[    3.392314] dracut: Blocks (total/free): 4883760/2828326 by 4096 bytes
[    3.392636] dracut: Filesystem is clean
[    3.393060] dracut: Remounting /dev/sda3 with -o ro
[    3.481926] dracut: Mounted root filesystem /dev/sda3
[    3.572413] dracut: Switching root
root@fireball / #

In my grub.conf I have this:

title=Initramfs-test
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage-3.1.5-1 root=/dev/sda3 init=/sbin/init
initrd /initramfs-3.1.5-gentoo.img

That is also what I booted with.  So, is it set up right?  It scrolls so 
fast I can't really see what it is doing in real time.  I don't know and 
can't find a way to confirm it is working so figured I would post what I 
can find here.  It did boot tho.

By the way, my root partition is sda3.

Thanks.

Dale
