The UEFI version of wimboot does not expect to find its files wrapped up 
into an initrd; it uses the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL to retrieve 
them from the underlying media.

It would be fairly simple to extend the UEFI version of wimboot to 
handle an initrd, but I have no immediate plans to do so.
