rpi-initp
=========
This project contains some scripts and a very simple init implementation. Using
all together enables to use a _init partition_. _init partitions_ are just like a
_init ram disks_ but living on block devices.
The project is a workaround for platforms like the _Raspberry Pi_ which are not
supplied with initrd enabled kernels by default nor having a boot loader with
initrd support. This allows to use non-builtin filesystems or USB based storage
for the rootfs.
