<includeonly>
Wikipedia defines initramfs as:
{{#set:arch={{{arch|}}}|arch_desc={{{arch_desc|}}}}}
<blockquote>
 
initramfs, abbreviated from "initial ram file system", is the successor of initrd. It is a cpio archive of the initial file system that gets loaded into memory during the Linux startup process. The Linux kernel mounts it as root file system and starts the init process from it. This will complete certain tasks before the real root file system is loaded; thus, initramfs needs to contain all of the device drivers and tools needed to mount the real root filesystem.
