description:
  Mkinitrd creates file system images for use as initial RAM disk
  (initrd) images.  These RAM disk images are often used to preload the
  block device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root file
  system.

  In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any
  SCSI adapters that load the SCSI driver as a module.  Because the
  kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case is not able to
  address the SCSI adapter, an initial RAM disk is used.	The initial RAM
  disk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and is
  available to the kernel as soon as the RAM disk is loaded.  The RAM
  disk loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to mount the
  root file system.
