# Create an initramfs containing the closure of the specified
# file system objects.  An initramfs 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.

# of algorithms.
