The Nvidia firmware is not needed at boot time (apparently until
X11 comes up). I was just asking whether there was a way to delay
its loading at least until the root partition becomes available
(in which case it could be loaded from the disk instead of the
initrd image). "Put the firmware in the initrd image." is not an
answer to this question.
