Err, there should be a default usr/initramfs_list - was this deleted by
the patch that added the initramfs_list generation script?  It would be

here so that the default usr/initramfs_list isn't used.

Documentation/early-userspace/README?

BTW, I have to make an emergency trip for the rest of the week and I may
not get to this until next week.
