3040 Controls whether or not the image recipe specified by
3041 <link linkend='var-INITRAMFS_IMAGE'><filename>INITRAMFS_IMAGE</filename></link>
3042 is run through an extra pass during kernel compilation
3043 in order to build a single binary that contains both the
3044 kernel image and the initial RAM disk (initramfs).
3045 The combined binary is deposited into the

3052 Setting the variable to "1" in a configuration file causes
3053 the OpenEmbedded build system to make the extra pass during
3054 kernel compilation:

3056 INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE = "1"

3058 <note>
3059 You must set the

3061 a configuration file.
3062 You cannot set the variable in a recipe file.
