<para>The kernel (optionally) mounts an in-memory file system, often generated by

which looks for the root file system. Nowadays this is usually implemented as an initramfs — a compressed
archive which is extracted when the kernel boots up into a lightweight in-memory file system based on
tmpfs, but in the past normal file systems using an in-memory block device (ramdisk) were used, and the
