Setting the option FIRMWARE="yes" in genkernel.conf will automatically |
| 22 |
copy the firmware from /lib/firmware to your initrd. FWIW, creating |
| 23 |
an initrd is as difficult as typing 'genkernel initramfs' and using |
| 24 |
the correct grub parameters. You don't even need a new one for every |
| 25 |
kernel, depending on whats changed. |
