That made my kdump initrd grow from 46mb to 86mb. However, it still fails.

An additional complication here is that kdump does something with my usb keyboard so I can't actually write anything when I get to the initramfs prompt... So it's a bit hard to debug what's going on.

my zpool/rpool setup looks like this:
```
  pool: bpool
 state: ONLINE
  scan: scrub repaired 0B in 0 days 00:00:04 with 0 errors on Sun Jan 10 00:24:05 2021
config:

        NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
        bpool ONLINE 0 0 0
          sdc1 ONLINE 0 0 0

errors: No known data errors

  pool: rpool
 state: ONLINE
  scan: scrub repaired 0B in 0 days 00:18:34 with 0 errors on Sun Jan 10 00:42:35 2021
config:

        NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
        rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
          sdc2 ONLINE 0 0 0

```

sdc is just a standard sata drive, so it should just work out of the box with any fairly recent kernel, I haven't needed any non standard changes for that drive in many many kernels.

Can I easily modify the initrd that's built into this initrd and add some debug info to stdout somehow?
