# How the Boot/Root set is constructed for the 2 disk compression method:
#
# 1. submit() start the process.
# 2. kernel_moudles() sets the $kernel_version.
# 3. lilo() is called.
# 4. $ok determines what functions should be called for creating the
# Boot disk.
# 5. If initrd hasn't been created yet then initrd is called, and then
# mtab(0=Boot) .. otherwise only mtab is called. If initrd is called,
# then it in turn calls initrd_size to check the size of everything going
# into the initrd, so that the initrd can be made as small as possible.
# 6. mtab determines which dialog to present to the user and then calls
# mtab_window with the numeric value determing whether to make a Boot or
# Root disk. 0=Boot 1=Root
# 7. mtab_window (prompts the user) and then calls mtab_check.
# 8. mtab_check checks whether the device is already mounted or not, and will
# keep prompting the user until either the device is umounted or a disk is
# inserted. Then it will mke2fs the block device and then it will call
# lilo_put_it_together if 0, or device2() if 1.
# 9. lilo_put_it_together puts together the initrd and necessary things to get
# lilo to work properly, and then runs lilo if the device is bootable.
# If the devel device is not the same as the boot device lilo will be
# skipped. Then mtab(1) is called.
#10. The filesystem for the Root device is made, and then device2 is called
# to copy over the root filesystem.
# My own creation - the roots touch the ground if three lines are added.
