Riiight. At least, you are

 - grabbing the fully installed OS image
 - mounting it on a host system
 - installing dracut & the dracut olpc module (if not otherwise installed)
 - running the dracut command excluding some modules (plymouth?), etc

Had some discussions with Mitch. Either it gets implemented in OFW's
cpu/x86/pc/olpc/security.fth and we do the full dance of QA on an OFW
signed image, or we deal with our userland moving faster than OFW and
knowing activation formats that OFW doesn't know about.
