# Create an initial ramdisk containing the closure of the specified
# file system objects. An initial ramdisk is used during the initial
# stages of booting a Linux system. It is loaded by the boot loader
# along with the kernel image. It's supposed to contain everything
# (such as kernel modules) necessary to allow us to mount the root
# file system. Once the root file system is mounted, the `real' boot
# script can be called.
#
# An initrd is really just a gzipped cpio archive.
#
# Symlinks are created for each top-level file system object. E.g.,
# `contents = {object = ...; symlink = /init;}' is a typical
# argument.
