2.2 Building A Firmware Image

The step after configuring and building the firmware kernel is to build a firmware image suitable for the system it should be run on. This is done using the `gnufi-mkimage' utility that was built alongside the kernel. The example below uses the `gnufi-mkimage' utility to create a firmware image that is suitable to be used on Intel 440BX based systems:

     $ gnufi-mkimage -o firmware.image i386-440bx.kscript

How the image is installed and started is loader specific. See Loaders.
