It seems to me that the kernel will first search for init in the initramfs file. If it doesn't find anything there it will boot up the legacy init. If it finds a init there, the init is run (which in most cases calls up the legacy init), When and exactly where initrd comes in I am not sure. All I wanted to say is that the initernal ramfs isn't unloaded anytime.
