Was writ:
That sounds good, but how do you mount the bunzip2ed initrd? When i do mount initrd.out /mnt -o loop, mount asked my after the filesystem.
mv initrd.out initrd.bz2 bunzip initrd.bz2
Then mount it as you tried to.
You might also need support for the file system and initrd in your kernel used by whatever machine you do this development work on.
