I was mining information on "how to create a kernel" and have created a simple kernel which just prints "my first kernel". Later, I went on to creating a small initrd.img file which launches a "busybox ash -login" command. Now, my question is, how to make the kernel use the initrd.img file to boot into a shell [the $ screen] ??
I am trying to create my own Linux Distribution and so I am trying to understand the basics
I do know my task does not require an initrd but I am curious that's all :)
Check out this link. Here exactly your requirement is explained where it prints hello world at the boot by creating initrd image.
