# initialRamdiskURL

The location of an optional RAM disk, which the boot loader maps into memory before it boots the Linux kernel.

```
var initialRamdiskURL: URL? { get set }
```

## Discussion

The default value of this property is `nil`. If you want specific files to be available when your Linux kernel boots, provide a URL to a valid RAM disk file in this property.
