I'll go back and chroot the environment and see what happened to dmraid and

dmraid installed to begin with?"
Only 2 possible answers: (1) stupidity (never ruled out); or (2) a bug.
I'll let you know. Thanks for your help.
Oh, the shame.....
The answer: (1)
I remembered the modules line in both rc.conf and mkinitcpio.conf, but
overlooked the all important HOOKS line. (at that point last night, it was a
"forest for the trees" issue and no amount of additional work would help)
Not all was lost. The wiki page got a bit of sprucing up and I learned a bit
more about the ramfs prompt -- although I hope I don't see it again for a while...
After correcting the hooks like and remaking the kernel and fallback images, the
box boots like a champ.
Sorry for the noise, but at this point, we have 1 more Arch box in the herd and
only 3 more suse boxes to convert. 9 down, 3 to go :)
