NO!!! it is *MUCH* easier to change boot scripts and rebuild an initrd than to have to rebuild and entire kernel. Take a look at Debian's mkinitramfs scripts.. I have some scripts which mount an AFS filesystem as the root, and something very similiar could be used to configure the cachefiles daemons and whatever else is needed. http://source.scl.ameslab.gov/hg/mkinitramfs-openafs?fd=44c8ea9061a9;file=scripts/openafs-premount/openafs
