Hafnium RAM disk

Hafnium expects to find the following files in the root directory of its RAM disk:

• vmlinuz -- the kernel of the primary VM.
• initrd.img -- the initial ramdisk of the primary VM.
• kernels for the secondary VMs, whose names are described in the manifest.

Follow the preparing Linux instructions to produce vmlinuz and initrd.img for a basic Linux primary VM.

Create a RAM disk for Hafnium

Assuming that a subdirectory called initrd contains the files listed in the previous section, we can build initrd.img with the following command:

cd initrd; find . | cpio -o > ../initrd.img; cd -
