+.SH NAME
+initramfs.conf \- configuration file for mkinitramfs
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The behaviour of
+.B 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: \fIname\fP=[\fIvalue\fP]
+
+.SH GENERAL VARIABLES
+.TP
+\fB MODULES
+Specifies the modules for the initramfs image.
+The default setting is \fImost\fP.
+
+\fImost\fP adds all the framebuffer, acpi, file system, ide, sata, scsi and usb drivers.
+
+\fIdep\fP tries to guess which modules are necessary for the running box.
+
+\fIlist\fP includes only modules from the additional modules list.
+
+.TP
+\fB RESUME
+Optional setting of the swap partition to resume from.
+The resume= passed on the command line of your boot loader 
+will override this setting.
+
+.TP

+If this is set to \fIy\fP then \fBbusybox\fP will be included on the
+initramfs image. You MUST use the -static version.
+
+.SH NFS VARIABLES
+.TP
+\fB BOOT
+Allows to use an nfs drive as the root of the drive. 
+The default is to boot of an \fIlocal\fP media (harddrive, USB stick).
+Set to \fInfs\fP for an NFS root share.
+
+.TP
+\fB DEVICE
+Specifies the network interface, like eth0.
+
+.TP
+\fB NFSROOT
