Howdy All!

Does anybody know how I can save the /initrd to /dev/mtdblock3 from
the full debian boot? I am trying to modify the linuxrc-mtdroot
script, save it to the initrd and reboot.

Here's what I've been trying (this is a modified version of the save
script included in the initrd.

cp /home/ifield-admin/linuxrc-mtdroot /initrd/;
dd if=/dev/zero of=/initrd/zerofiller;
rm -f /zerofiller
mount -o remount,ro /dev/root /initrd;
dd if=/dev/ram0 of=/dev/mtdblock2; sync;
mount -o remount,rw /dev/root /initrd;

Thanks!
Rob
