Sorry, I have the feeling we talk past each other. I do not want to 
create an initrd. I want to boot *without* an initrd, and the only 
missing piece is building VIRTIO_BLK into the Linux kernel.

Ubuntu also builds this into their “kvm” flavour [1].

If you think, that is unnecessary, could you please elaborate, how I 
would achieve the goal with virtiofs?

Kind regards,

Paul
