Booster is an initramfs tool which can be used as an alternative to
|
|
Alpine's default mkinitfs. The Alpine Booster package will automatically
|
|
generate /boot/booster-$flavor analog to the /boot/initramfs-$flavor
|
|
image generated by mkinitfs.
|
|
|
|
When using extlinux, a bootloader entry for the generated Booster
|
|
ramdisk image can be configured in /etc/update-extlinux.d/, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
$ cat /etc/update-extlinux.d/booster
|
|
LABEL booster
|
|
MENU LABEL Linux lts (booster)
|
|
LINUX vmlinuz-lts
|
|
INITRD booster-lts
|
|
APPEND root=/dev/sda3 rootfstype=ext4 quiet
|
|
|
|
Additionally, Booster may need additional configuration depending on
|
|
your setup. Refer to the booster manual page for more information. In
|
|
both cases, after modifying the corresponding configuration files the
|
|
package triggers (for booster and/or syslinux) need to be re-run, e.g.
|
|
via apk fix.
|
|
|
|
Presently, it is not possible to replace mkinitfs with booster entirely.
