Looking at this guide it seems you have to repartition your internal memory something i'd rather not do.
When I have time I'll look if i can modify the instructions to instead use an +-2gb .img file.
-edit: nvm the guide doesn't actually change the partition table it seems.

The whole process should be same except you have to have different ramdisk(initrd.gz), cmdline, ramdisk for recovery, zImage. Ramdisk modification should also be same
