Oops, I guess after a few messages I forgot the original problem. In
fact, I think I missed the original message entirely.
That's a good reason to have the drivers all compiled into the kernel
rather than loading them as modules. In the latter case, there would be
two copies of the driver in memory when they were being used.
Is the boot/root disk being removed? If so, I think it's a bad idea: what
if the power goes down? Then the router would have to be re-booted by
hand. If the boot/root disk is left in the drive, you could save some
memory by not copying it into RAM disk and the system would reboot if the
power cycled.
