The other parameters are optional. .TP -\fB \fI init +\fB\fI init the binary to hand over execution to on the root fs after the initramfs scripts are done. .TP -\fB \fI root +\fB\fI root the device node to mount as the root file system. The recommended usage is to specify the UUID as followed "root=UUID=xxx". As normal device names are not stable and may change depending on the boot order. .TP -\fB \fI rootdelay +\fB\fI rootdelay set delay in seconds. Determines how long mountroot waits for root to appear. .TP -\fB \fI rootflags +\fB\fI rootflags set the file system mount option string. .TP -\fB \fI rootfstype +\fB\fI rootfstype set the root file system type. .TP -\fB \fI nfsroot +\fB\fI nfsroot can be either "auto" to try to get the relevant information from DHCP or a string of the form NFSSERVER:NFSPATH or NFSSERVER:NFSPATH:NFSOPTS. Use root=/dev/nfs for NFS to kick to in. .TP -\fB \fI ip +\fB\fI ip tells how to configure the ip address. Allows to specify an different NFS server than the DHCP server. See Documentation/nfsroot.txt in any recent Linux source for details. Optional paramater for NFS root. .TP -\fB \fI cryptopts +\fB\fI cryptopts passes the args for cryptoroot. Set by the cryptsetup boot hooks. .TP -\fB \fI boot +\fB\fI boot either local or NFS (affects which initramfs scripts are run, see the "Subdirectories" section under boot scripts). .TP -\fB \fI resume +\fB\fI resume On install initramfs-tools tries to autodetect the resume partition.

It writes a log to /tmp/initramfs.debug. Instead when invoked with an arbitrary argument output is written to console. Use for example "debug=vc". .TP -\fB \fI break +\fB\fI break spawns a shell in the initramfs image at chosen run-time (top, modules, premount, mount, mountroot, bottom, init).
