:-) Which comes first the chicken or the egg?
To be able to mount CDROM we have to find out the config file and load modules
from /etc/sysconfi/config:INITRD_MODULES ...

Another way is to do something like I did in install-on-hdd, i.e. load all
modules, but include into initrd/ramfs only really necessary.

Bruce, don't take me wrong, I like the idea. I only try to define the points we
should discuss and modify.
