Markus,
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm very close, I think. I used the
instructions here for working with initrd's script:
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/07/how-to-view-modify-and-recreate-initrd-img/
I'm still having a problem booting up. I can't seem to figure out what
the proper settings should be in initrd. When I boot I get:
.....
