I have read the REDAME file and other related docs. I think my first inquiry was not sufficient so I'll try to explain a little better. What I'm trying to do is to insert a third party multi-pathing package before root "/" is mounted. This needs to be done in BFS(boot from SAN) environment. The equivalent of this with SLES11 was to write 71-setup-MP.sh and 21-boot-MP.sh scripts. Then use mkinitrd with -f to add this new feature to the initrd image. I need to simulate the same setup and boot scripts to do the same thing for RHEL6. I assume this is possible with dracut. I also think I need to use pre-mount hook to do this. I'm still not sure of what I should use for two digit numeric code. One other question when using rdloaddriver=<drivername> at what stage of boot process does this driver gets loaded?
