6 Integrate the root filesystem generated by Buildroot as an
7 initramfs inside the kernel image. This integration will
8 take place automatically.
10 A rootfs.cpio file will be generated in the images/ directory.
11 This is the archive that will be included in the kernel image.
12 The default rootfs compression set in the kernel configuration
13 is used, regardless of how buildroot's cpio archive is configured.
15 Note that enabling initramfs together with another filesystem
16 formats doesn't make sense: you would end up having two
17 identical root filesystems, one embedded inside the kernel
18 image, and one separately.
