This means include all storage drivers and firmware for the storage drivers?
Does this also mean we only add network drivers if the initrd is
explicitly built for netboot?
How do we plan on dealing with the location of various standard
utilities being different on other Linux distributions?
Fedora Debian
/sbin/lspci /usr/bin/lspci
/sbin/lsmod /bin/lsmod
(just off the top of my head)
Perhaps use "which" to find it? But then how do we choose its
destination path in the initrd chroot if the distributions disagree on
where they expect a command to go? Will they disagree?
