-                <para>A number of different components are involved in the
-                system boot. Immediately after power-up, the system
-                BIOS will do minimal hardware initialization, and hand
-                control over to a boot loader stored on a persistent
-                storage device. This boot loader will then invoke an
-                OS kernel from disk (or the network). In the Linux
-                case this kernel now (optionally) extracts and
-                executes an initial RAM disk image (initrd) such as
-                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dracut</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
-                which looks for the root file system. After the root
-                file system is found and mounted the initrd hands over

-                file systems and spawning all configured
-                services.</para>

+    If the root device can be mounted at
+    <filename>/sysroot</filename>, the
+    <filename>sysroot.mount</filename> unit becomes active and
+    <filename>initrd-root-fs.target</filename> is reached. The service
+    <filename>initrd-parse-etc.service</filename> scans
+    <filename>/sysroot/etc/fstab</filename> for a possible
+    <filename>/usr</filename> mount point and additional entries
+    marked with the <emphasis>x-initrd.mount</emphasis> option. All
+    entries found are mounted below <filename>/sysroot</filename>, and
+    <filename>initrd-fs.target</filename> is reached. The service
+    <filename>initrd-cleanup.service</filename> isolates to the
+    <filename>initrd-switch-root.target</filename>, where cleanup
+    services can run. As the very last step, the
+    <filename>initrd-switch-root.service</filename> is activated,
+    which will cause the system to switch its root to
