Not very clear - I've read the kernel docs, and while they provide a
perfectly good techncial explanation of what an initramfs is, they
doesn't really offer much information on setting one up. But I've just
spotted an entry in LFS Hints that looks a little more useful (assuming
it's still accurate).

Yes, that would be preferable, but wasn't sure how easy it would be to
get the label. But having just discovered that udev maintains
the /dev/disk/by-label directory, that's definitely the best way to do
it.
