[klibc] Query regarding initramfs

[Andreas Jellinghaus]

Hi Rachita,

you need to mount something to /newroot.

the run-init.c in klibc expects that this has already been done.

so insert a mount() call somewhere in the main() function, for example
	mount("/dev/hda1","/newroot","ext2",MS_RDONLY,NULL);
should work (untested).

or add /bi/mount and all libs used by it to the initramdisk,
and write an init that first calls mount, and then calls run-init.
but adding a single function call to mount might be easier :-)

Good luck!

Regards, Andreas
