-\fBscandelay\fR=<...>
+\fBscandelay=\fR<...>
Pauses for 10 seconds before running devfsd if no argument is specified;
otherwise pauses for the number of specified seconds.
.TP
-\fBip\fR=<...>
+\fBip=\fR<...>
Normally used to tell the kernel that it should start a network interface. If present, the initrd will try to mount a livecd over NFS.

-\fBnfsroot\fR=<...>
+\fBnfsroot=\fR<...>
If present, the initrd will try to mount a livecd from that location. Otherwise the location will be deduced from the DCHP request (option root\-path)
