Could you explain? I can't see any reason it would be useful on a
system that's not doing some kind of initial boot on a filesystem
that's not going to be its eventual root. Indeed it need not be
initramfs, so that should probably be clarified in the text, but I
don't think your suggested text improves the situation much..
