RE: [coLinux-devel] kernel patch

[<ch...@to...>]

I came up with a way to do topologilinux without initrd under coLinux
after realizing that I was only using it to set sym links. I think I can
put the links to /dev/cobd? in the /initrd folder and have fstab point to
them for devices. When booting natively the initrd will be mounted here
and will have it's own it's own links to /dev/loop?
