Subject: bug#40998: [PATCH 1/3] initrd: Rename the '--root' initrd option to just 'root'.
Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2022 10:33:21 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220218153323.29393-1-maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87r1w3kbi0.fsf@hurd.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me>
This is to make it less surprising, given the common convention sets forth by
the kernel Linux command-line parameters.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Rename the '--root' option to
'root'. Adjust doc.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (installer-root-partition-path): Use 'root' instead
of '--root'.
* gnu/system.scm (bootable-kernel-arguments): Likewise.
(operating-system-boot-parameters): Adjust doc.
(operating-system-boot-parameters-file): Likewise.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (base-initrd): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi: Adjust doc.
