INITRAMFS.CONF(5)            initramfs.conf manual           INITRAMFS.CONF(5)

NAME
       initramfs.conf - configuration file for mkinitramfs

DESCRIPTION
       The behaviour of mkinitramfs can be modified by its configuration file.

       Each line in the file can be a configuration variable, a blank line, or
       a comment. The value of an variable is assigned by an statement of  the
       form: name=[value]

       Configuration options can be broken out into configuration snippets and
       placed in individual files in  the  /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d  direc-
       tory.   Files in this directory are always read after the main configu-
       ration file, so you can override the settings in the main  config  file
       without editing it directly.

GENERAL VARIABLES
        MODULES
              Specifies the modules for the initramfs image.

              Modules     listed     in    /etc/initramfs-tools/modules    and
              /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules.d/* are  always  included  in
              the initramfs, and are loaded early in the boot process.

              list  doesn't  load  any  additional modules at boot time, other
              than those listed in the above files.

              most adds most file system, all ata, sata, scsi and usb drivers.

              dep tries to guess which modules are necessary for  the  running
              box and only adds those modules.

              netboot  adds  the  base  and  network  modules, but skips block
              devices.

              The default setting is most.

        BUSYBOX
              Include busybox utilities for the boot scripts.  If set  to  'n'
              mkinitramfs  will  build  an  initramfs without busybox.  Beware
              that many boot scripts need busybox utilities.

        KEYMAP
              If set to 'y', the console keymap  will  be  loaded  during  the
              initramfs  stage.   The  keymap  will  anyway  be  loaded by the
              initscripts later, and the packages that might need  input  will
              normally  set  this variable automatically, so there should nor-
              mally be no need to set this.

        COMPRESS
              Specifies the compression method used for the  initramfs  image.
              mkinitramfs  will  default  to  gzip if the kernel lacks support
              (CONFIG_RD)  or  the  corresponding  userspace  utility  is  not
              present.

        UMASK Set  the umask value of the generated initramfs file.  Useful to
              not disclose eventual keys.

NFS VARIABLES
        BOOT  Allows one to use an nfs drive as the root of  the  drive.   The
              default  is  to  boot  from local media (hard drive, USB stick).
              Set to nfs for an NFS root share.

        DEVICE
              Specifies the network interface, like eth0.

        ROOT  Allows optional root bootarg hardcoding, when  no  root  bootarg
              can be passed.  A root bootarg overrides that special setting.

        NFSROOT
              Defaults  to  auto  in  order to pick up value from DHCP server.
              Otherwise you need to specify HOST:MOUNT.
