Doesn't that make it a bit difficult to add kernel extensions (drivers)?
It makes it impossible to durably add anything, since any changes require a
write to non-volatile media.
That has nothing to do with adding kernel extensions. The in memory kernel
is modified by loadable modules. The kernel on disk is not modified at all.
and where do those loadable modules go?
what's on the read-only disk can't be modified, which means you can't
add anything to it. the *only* way you can add an extension or anything
else is by writing to a volume, somewhere on the system.
