Hi Ludo,

> What was the use case and rationale for you?

The problematic use case was to try to produce a GuixSD arm installer
for beaglebone black. The kernel linux-libre-arm-omap2plus I'm planning
to use can't be used in qemu.

Plus, I'd like to use a raw-initrd because linux-libre-arm-omap2plus is
quite a light kernel configuration. As system-disk-image asks for
base-initrd, the required modules won't be find during image
construction with omap kernel.

Do you have another idea on how to overcome this issue ?

Thanks for the quick review,

Mathieu
