Dustin C. Hatch 3230e6a050 initramfs: Only include necessary drivers

*dracut* includes a ton of kernel modules in the initramfs by default.
These are totally unnecessary and make the image file huge, which makes
it take forever to load via TFTP.  We can save a lot of space and time
by only including the specific drivers we need to mount the root
filesystem.

Basement Hud Network-Booted OS

Customized Fedora-based operating system distributed as an immutable root filesystem image.

Building

Must run on a Fedora host or privileged container.

Build the root filesystem image:

make rootfs

This will create an _build/rootfs directory containing the root filesystem hierarchy. The _build/rootfs/boot directory contains the necessary files to boot the system:

efi: This directory contains the Raspberry Pi firmware files
initramfs.img: Early userspace image
vmlinuz: Kernel image
basementhud.squashfs: Root filesystem image

The Raspberry Pi firmware, initramfs image, and kernel image files must be served by a TFTP, while the rootfs image is served by NBD.

Build the initramfs image:

make initramfs
