The initramfs already mounted both of them.
Signed-off-by: Demi Marie Obenour <demiobenour@gmail.com> --- It's true that this does increase the reliance on an initramfs, but it is also trivial to revert if Spectrum OS ever stops using one. Linux supports creating dm-verity devices via dm-mod.create= and (if needed) dm-mod.waitfor=, so eliminating an initramfs might be possible but is a separate project.
I'd still prefer we don't rely on initramfs behaviour any more than we need to — it just makes things more brittle and difficult to understand.
Does the mount we are using blindly mount a second instance of procfs and sysfs? If so, I'd rather reuse the initramfs versions. Otherwise, keeping things as-is is fine.
IIRC I tried using those kernel parameters before, but they weren't workable for what we needed. I don't remember the details.
I suspect they are meant for embedded systems with known hardware. Ideally partition table parsing would be in userspace anyway. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)
