I am now able to boot the VM image without an initrd, editing
`/boot/grub/grub.cfg`, which saves a little time, as the initrd does not
need to be loaded by GRUB and later dealt with (unpack/run) by the Linux
kernel.
Sou you already have all the infrastructure to create initrd. Please
use virtiofs for this case.
Sorry, I have the feeling we talk past each other. I do not want to
create an initrd. I want to boot *without* an initrd, and the only
missing piece is building VIRTIO_BLK into the Linux kernel.
Ubuntu also builds this into their “kvm” flavour [1].
If you think, that is unnecessary, could you please elaborate, how I
would achieve the goal with virtiofs?
Kind regards,
Paul
