+                <para>If the initrd creation tool used the services provided
+                by systemd, the default target in the initrd is the
+                initrd-fs.target. The process is the same as above until the basic.target is reached.
+                Systemd now continues to the initrd.target. If the root device could be mounted
+                on /sysroot, the sysroot.mount unit is active and the initrd-root-fs.target is reached.
+                initrd-parse-etc.service scans /sysroot/etc/fstab for the /usr mountpoint and for entries
+                marked with the <emphasis>x-initrd.mount</emphasis> option set. If these mountpoint are
+                mounted in /sysroot, the initrd-fs.target is reached.
+                The initrd-cleanup.service isolates to the initrd-switch-root.target,
+                where cleanup services can run. At the very last end
+                initrd-switch-root.service is activated, which will cause
+                the system to switch root to /sysroot.
