Ah - thanks! (So cpio -o defaults to an "obsolete" format. How helpful.)

Well, not by that name anyway. Uwe Menges clears up the mystery:

lvm wasn't there either, but vgchange was. So...
(initramfs) cd sbin
(initramfs) ln -s vgchange vgscan
(initramfs) ./vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
No volume groups found
(initramfs) ln -s vgchange pvscan
(initramfs) ./pvscan
No matching physical volumes found
