2010-06-22initramfs-tools.8: Enhance documentation of boot optionmaximilian attems
Enhance manpage to target casual reader, who wants to know more about his kernel commandline. The boot/mkinitramfs hook hacker may easily read on, so move their desc a bit down. Add errexit hint of hook scripts. Also enhance a better written § from dracut, the current one was just jibberish.

2010-02-22initramfs-tools: make the panic argument available in the rescue shellFerenc Wagner
Sometimes one misses the error message printed by the panic helper function, for example when attaching a serial console after the fact, or if kernel messages resulting from udev activity obscure or scroll it away. Please consider adding some facility like the attached patch. Thanks, Feri. (closes: #569033) Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <maks@debian.org>
