And AFAICS that's doable.
I haven't been following the initramfs stuff, but now I have a question. Currently we're using initrd to store a kernel and compressed ramdisk bundled together as an ~7MB single file that gets netbooted by firmware in a card. Will it be possible to bundle initramfs together with the kernel into a single file in this same manner?
Thanks,
Chris
