__make-autoinst-initrd__ creates an initalization ramdisk for use by the operating system autoinstaller. It takes a single, mandatory argument: the [Kernel] package containing the kernel to be used for the initrd and floppy boot environment. If an autoinstall disk for another architecture is needed, then the ''--arch'' argument can be given to specify the architecture. |

The initialization ramdisk consists of a compressed ext2 filesystem, and is left in the current directory as ''initrd.gz'' . This file is typically placed (by make-autoinst-disk(1)) on a floppy disk or other medium accessible by the bootloader used by the autoinstaller. |
