+If a module listed in @code{initrd-modules} is not included in the
+Linux-libre kernel, then the location to it must be added to the
+@code{kernel-loadable-modules} list.  For example, if your root file
+system exists on a ZFS pool, then your configuration might look like the
+following:
+
+@lisp
+(operating-system
+  ;; @dots{}
+  (initrd-modules (cons "zfs" %base-initrd-modules))
+  (kernel-loadable-modules (list (list zfs "module"))))
+@end lisp
+
 @defvr {Scheme Variable} %base-initrd-modules
 This is the list of kernel modules included in the initrd by default.
