After giving it some more thinking, I also think this is not
possible. The kernel image itself is in the store (and must be, because
you can have several system generations, each using a different
kernel). Same with initrd images.

I have finally moved the whole root to a bigger disk, not much different
to moving the store as root size (aside from the store) is rather small.

Thanks!
