Perhaps, but at that point you've got a working network connection, and it's
a pretty simple matter to do what has to be done.  Fooling around with
initrd files, etc., is a lot more tedious.

But have you looked at it recently? Last time I looked I found support
for a second initrd image for the starter system to make adding the OCO
modules fairly easy.

PS With SuSE you get the OCO version from the day they cut the kernel
rpm package. From what I see the OCO modules are refreshed more
frequently (with a reason quite often) than the kernel package on the
SuSE maintenance web. So even with SuSE you may need to find the stuff
and install it yourself.
