When booting from firewire or usb devices you have to use rootdelay kernel option. rootdelay=5 (wait 5 seconds) possibly use rootwait which will wait indefinitely for the rootdevice to become aavailable. Some systems require long or shorter wait times. Never dealt with an atom device but you need to see how it treats firewire and usb devices. It's that or use initramfs.
