This one has filled up the entire 8 Mb tmpfs

Kernel packages we have on this architecture use
uncompressed vmlinux file called image; handle that.

stage2 has been thinking it's synonymous with propagator

tear scripts apart so that kernel feature makes sure
initrd gets generated, and stage2 (which is still all
about propagator) cares for its bits.
