I don't understand. Reading out a few const chars poses a security risk?
Or perhaps is it the information in there? I'd imagine kernel features
could be tested for relatively easily. If you're that paranoid, turn it
off + recompile.

Back on topic, there's no need either to compile the root filesystem
driver into the kernel, I've been booting from reiserfs root for years,
and loading initrd is as reliable as loading vmlinuz. List the module
name(s) somewhere, run mk_initrd, and perhaps lilo - that's all there
is to it.
