Efficient initial RAM disk creation

摘要

Operating system image files utilized to create an initial random access memory ("RAM") disk are separated into one image file that contains essential initial RAM disk components and one or more additional image files that contain optional initial RAM disk components, such as language support files. At runtime, the disk image containing the essential RAM disk components is loaded along with the disk images containing desired optional initial RAM disk components. Disk images containing undesired or unneeded optional RAM disk components are not loaded. The loaded disk images are utilized to create the initial RAM disk.
