Simple:

You either use an initramfs, and if so your initramfs should mount the real root file system itself using switch_root() or you don't use an initramfs and let the kernel mount it (but then you need the driver compiled into the kernel).

As a nitpicking, if you are using initrd, there is a mode of operation where the initrd (linuxrc script) loads the kernel module, but the kernel does the actual mounting. I

Yes, but initramfs does not support it AFAIK and I wouldn't recommend anyone to use initrd in favour of initramfs for any system with 2.6 kernel.
