=head1 NAME

B<wwmkinitrd>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Most linux systems utilize an inital RAMDISK which loads after the kernel, but
before init. The purpose of the initrd is to setup the root device/file
system.

The Warewulf initrd loads the appropriate kernel modules (network, scsi, nfs,
fs). If utilizing a 2.6 kernel, Warewulf will autoprobe the hardware, but 2.4
kernels do not autoprobe, thus you will need to tell the initrd what kernel
modules to load. You can do this in /etc/warewulf/config.

Running this tool will create the wwinitrd and appropriate kernel in the
tftpboot directory.
