From 0f34a821ab99e4936c7aa4974f58784442172211 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Landley Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 22:55:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add a switch_root utility (like kconfig's utils/run_init.c, although not actuall using any of that code). This is needed because pivot_root doesn't work right under initramfs.
