Understood. Thats the same procedure as for the initrd-tools.

But using yaird it would make things much more easy, if

- more modules than just the absolute necessary could
  be included in the initramfs. Disk space is very cheap.
- yaird could make use of udev to load the drivers matching
  the hardware. This would make a single initramfs usable
  in most PCs.

I had expected that something similar would be helpfull for
d-i, too?
