Description
Feature Request
Desired Feature
Similarly to cosa buildinitramfs-fast, it would take overrides/initramfs and turn it into a compressed CPIO, but then use coreos-installer iso ignition show --header to get the offset and length of ignition.img and copy the CPIO to that location of a copy of the ISO.

Research direction
Start by examining the existing cosa buildinitramfs-fast entry point and how it handles overrides/initramfs. Then inspect the coreos-installer iso ignition show --header invocation and define the new command's completion criteria: create a compressed CPIO, copy the ISO, and place the CPIO at the reported ignition.img offset and length.
