What does the 2 disk compression method do?  [back]

This Boot Method creates a boot disk with lilo, a kernel and an initrd -image.  The -initrd script mounts another root disk with a compressed (gzip or bzip2) -filesystem.

+image.   +The initrd script mounts another root disk with a compressed (gzip or bzip2) +filesystem.  Note: This method doesn't use the devfs, so use a +kernel without this built into it.

I've created a root fs.  Then I've tried to create the boot disk using the 2 disk compression method.  The device selection is /dev/fd0, size is 1440k, but the initrd_image.gz is 715k.  I don't know much about boot disks but shouldn't the boot disks contain mainly the kernel?  [back]
