Howdy!

What is the correct procedure for adding/modifying files in the initrd
partition on the SD card and/or the NAND flash from Full Debian Linux?

I am trying to modify the linuxrc-mtdroot script and copy it to the
initrd.

I realize this is a RAM Disk, so I have tried the following methods:


/ # dd if=/dev/ram0 of=/dev/mtdblock2;

AND

/ # mtdcp /dev/ram0 2 0;

AND

/ # mount -t ext2 /dev/mtdblock2 /tmp
/ # cp linuxrc-mtdroot /tmp
/ # umount /tmp


I have also checked out the /lbin/save script in the initrd partition
to see how it's done there, but I keep getting inconsistent results.

Any Standard Operating Procedures for this?

Robert
