The post-installation initrd could be copied to MacOS and then specified
in Penguin, same as the installation initrd. If this were a user's only
GNU/Linux installation, they would need to know to copy the initrd at
the end of the installation or their new system might not be bootable.
It might make sense for the developers to include a post-installation
initrd on the CD.

A full installation that completes may fix the problem.
