I've since learned it appears to be necessary to have the USB stick inserted into the working system being used to create the initramfs, or the module isn't copied into the initramfs, therefore making it impossible to mount from the dracut shell. I've also just updated the system to 4.1.6-201.fc22.x86_64, and I don't believe the USB stick was inserted at the time, yet the initramfs contains usb-storage, so I really don't know for sure what's going on. I tried "dracut --add-modules usb-storage ..." but it says usb_storage (with an underscore) it wasn't found. It sounds like the --add-modules is for dracut modules? I hope someone can help clarify the confusion with dracut modules and kernel modules and why usb-storage is included while other times it's not.
