that was my idea too
1 floppy : kernel with compiled in raid and if there is some more space
lvm ,FSes
2 floppy : initrd with lvm-tools and other modules ( FS ....)
my kernel has almost only the important for my system
raid-0, linear-raid, lvm, ext2,xfs,reiserfs( i'll let reiser soon)
the thing is that xfs is too big
i'd tried kernel with FS , raid as modules,
the kernel was ~800-900k
the initrd --preload xfs ,raid-0, linear was ~2Mb !
