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 possible to add extra functionality to an existing template to create a new one and still have the functionality and convenience offered by mk-initramfs-oneSIS for creating new initramfss.

If none of the existing logic in the initramfs template is changed, mk-initramfs-oneSIS can use any derived templates to create initramfss with added functionality. There is a specific place in the initramfs's init script specifically designated for additional logic. Any other creative bootstrapping logic can be added there, without losing existing functionality.
