There shouldn't be any issues catting the real initramfs with microcode into another file. I do that, as does another ZBM developer. What do you see when you try it?

I started ZBM years ago by hacking on the same grub script, then progressed to what it is now!

When I booted normally with the concatenated image (ensuring removing the original microcode img from the grub.cfg initrd command), I booted and I confirmed the microcode loaded with (dmesg | grep microcode).

Then switching to ZBM, while it did boot with the concatenated image, I didn't see microcode loaded in dmesg.
