I have a remote system that has /usr on a separate partition.

How do I find out if I am actually *using* an initramfs right now (I

If I am not, how do I do this without using genkernel? Is dracut t he
only other option? Is it easy/trivial to set one up manually?
I cannot imagine that gentoo is just going to throw me to the wolves
like this without providing *in-depth* instructions on how to make sure
my system will boot after this update, like they did with the
baselayout-2 update...
genkernel is pretty simple to use if you ask me.
just
emerege genkernel
and then use
genkerenl --menuconfig all
it will do everything for you the same as in a regular kernel compiling.
you have instructions on how to use genkernel on the handbook.
