In many places we spelled out the phrase behind "initrd" in full, but this isn't terribly useful. In fact, no "RAM disk" is used, so emphasizing this is just confusing to the reader. Let's just say "initrd" everywhere, people understand what this refers to, and that it's in fact an initramfs image. Also, s/i.e./e.g./ where appropriate. Also, don't say "in RAM", when in fact it's virtual memory, whose pages may or may not be loaded in page frames in RAM, and we have no control over this. Also, add <filename></filename> and other minor cleanups.

the ID shall be generated on first boot and is not known when the entries are prepared. Note that

using the machine ID has the benefit that multiple parallel installations of the same OS can coexist

on the same medium, and they can update their boot loader entries independently. When using another
|
|
identifier (such as the OS ID or the OS image ID), parallel installations of the same OS would try to

use the same entry name. To support parallel installations, the installer must use a different entry
