Better to ask this question on another list, maybe users@

Anyway, supermin can do this.  Actually we used to be able to build a
pure cpio initramfs, but I dropped this feature from the latest
version because large initramfses are so slow (because of
kernel/qemu).  The current supermin can take a list of packages and
build a kernel + small initramfs + disk image containing the packages.
The supermin manual covers how to use it.
