And then packed it again using commands:

Code:

find . -print0 | cpio --null -o --format=newc | zstd -19 -o ../initramfs8.new

You should put your script in /etc/initramfs/scripts/local-premount/ (or similar; experiment) with the correct test at the top, and rebuild the initramfs withor similar. You will also need to add any modules that you require that aren't in there by default into /etc/modules for the scripts to pick them up and their dependencies (overlayfs comes to mind), and add any helpers (eg. any mount.overlayfs). The documentation is quite good.
