I should add a little comment about "rd.auto", which is off by default.

So, the default behavior for the dracut initramfs is now, not to automatically
assemble the devices it finds, unless "rd.auto=1" is given on the kernel command
line.

The old behavior can be turned on by shipping a .conf file in /etc/dracut.conf.d
with:

kernelcmdline+=" rd.auto=1 "

Which adds "rd.auto=1" to the default parameter.
