BootUtils

If you're looking for an all-in-one solution to streamline the boot process of Kernel 2.6 based systems, BootUtils project has got you covered. This impressive collection of utilities is specifically designed for initramfs, with the possibility of extending support to initrd.

Thanks to BootUtils, the tedious process of locating the root volume by label or explicit label= on the kernel command line is done on your behalf. This includes automating the mounting process and the switchrooting. Additionally, if the root volume can't be mounted, BootUtils will drop to an emergency shell immediately.

But that's not all. With BootUtils, you've got the option of starting the sshd and granting administrator login access if the system is located remotely. This way, you can perform the necessary troubleshooting without having to physically access the machine.

Overall, BootUtils provides a seamless boot experience that any sysadmin will appreciate. It's easy to use, and it's packed with advanced features that make managing your system a breeze. So why not give it a try today? You won't be disappointed!
