I'm kind of curious about how initrd is loaded. Is it the kernel that loads initrd or is it the boot loader. I'm sorry that this isn't a syslinux question. In particular I have a boot loader for my SGI Workstations that the person that writes it says he does not know if it support initrds. So I'd figure the people that write boot loaders that do use initrds would know. I want to try and use the SGI bootloader off a cd like isolinux. I tried using isolinux and syslinux but I think the SGI Workstations are so much different that that isn't going to work. Its still x86 arch but its ram is much different and I think the bootloader written for it loads the OS in a different memory location to fit the differences. I also have to compile the kernel specifically for that reason also. Theres an option in the arch for the SGI workstations. So my question again is: How is the initrd loaded is it with the kernel? or is it loaded by the boot loader? or is it with a combination of the two?
