help
- This will instruct the kernel to automatically mount the
- devtmpfs filesystem at /dev, directly after the kernel has
- mounted the root filesystem. The behavior can be overridden
- with the commandline parameter: devtmpfs.mount=0|1.
- This option does not affect initramfs based booting, here
- the devtmpfs filesystem always needs to be mounted manually
- after the rootfs is mounted.
- With this option enabled, it allows to bring up a system in
- rescue mode with init=/bin/sh, even when the /dev directory
- on the rootfs is completely empty.
+ Automatically mount devtmpfs at /dev on the root filesystem, which
+ lets the system come up in rescue mode with [rd]init=/bin/sh.
+ Override with devtmpfs.mount=0 on the commandline. Initramfs can
+ create a /dev dir as needed, other rootfs needs the mount point.
