Speaking of qemu and core-image-minimal-initramfs, that initramfs isn't
really suitable as it stands. It uses init-live-boot, which expects to
boot from removable media instead of the fixed disk provided by qemu.

Is there anything more suitable or do I have to roll my own init script
entirely, perhaps based on initramfs-framework?
