Ok, I have never used genkernel, and have no desire to...

I have no idea what dracut is or how to use it...

I have a remote system that has /usr on a separate partition.

So...

How do I find out if I am actually *using* an initramfs right now (I 
know it is built into the kernel), and

If I am not, how do I do this without using genkernel? Is dracut t he 
only other option? Is it easy/trivial to set one up manually?

I cannot imagine that gentoo is just going to throw me to the wolves 
like this without providing *in-depth* instructions on how to make sure 
my system will boot after this update, like they did with the 
baselayout-2 update...
