    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
