Creating a new initramfs template

The initramfs template supplied by oneSIS can be used to bootstrap any x86 compatible machine. Similar templates for other architectures may be included in future releases of oneSIS. It is also possible to create a new template and still have the functionality and convenience offered by mk-initramfs-oneSIS for creating new initramfs images.

mk-initramfs-oneSIS can use any derived templates to create initramfs images with added functionality. There is a specific place in the init script specifically designated for additional logic. Many other kinds of creative bootstrapping logic can be added there, without losing existing functionality.
