.SH SYNOPSIS
.B build-debirf-kernel
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Run \fBbuild-debirf-kernel\fP as a non-privileged user on a
properly-configured debian system to build a .deb kernel package that
can boot entirely from an initramfs.  Having such a deb is a
prerequisite for getting a debirf system up and running.
.PP
The debirf system is outlined at:

.PP
\fBbuild-debirf-kernel\fP will first check to ensure that you have the
proper packages installed on your system before proceeding.  It will
attempt to build a kernel that matches the kernel you are currently
running, with the addition of Kent Robotti's EARLYUSERSPACE_ON_TMPFS
(inittmpfs) patch.
