+ # - I chose to use booster instead of dracut
+ # - easiest way to achieve this is before installing `base-system`
+ # to `echo 'ignorepkg=dracut' >> /etc/xbps.d/ignore-dracut.conf`
+ # and manually install `booster` instead
+ # - Lastly, you need to manually create initramfs when in a chroot
+ # since booster will detect the host kernel instead. See here:
+ # <https://github.com/anatol/booster/issues/230>
+ # Essentially, run `booster build --kernel-version <krnl> myboot.img`
+ # with the version you want to build for.
+ # E.g. at time of writing, `booster build --kernel-version 6.12.13_1 myboot.img`.
+ # To find correct version, use the name of the `/usr/lib/modules/XYZ` XYZ dir.
+ #
+ # - do the remaining steps in the 'installation configuration' setup of the guide chroot guide
+ # - if wanted (and you should) uncomment wheel group in sudoers and set up a sudo-enabled user
+ # `useradd -m -G wheel -U -s /bin/zsh <username>` (if zsh is already installed)
