Mkinitrd.yaird
is a wrapper around
yaird(8)
that accepts the same command line arguments as the Debian program
mkinitrd(8),
a tool to create an initial boot image.
To let
yaird
build the initial boot image when a Debian kernel package is installed,
rather than the default
mkinitrd,
put the following line in
/etc/kernel-img.conf:
ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird
Support for the ramdisk variable is built into the kernel package;
it is available in Debian kernels packaged since june 2005.

is to be generated.
