Ehy, initramfs is virtually empty by default... Also, I didn't expect initramfs to parse that, but rather to prepare things and later let the kernel do the usual stuff - something different would surprise me.

Yep, but I don't like the kernel to become a configuration repository... it's conceptually similar to the in-kernel Win32 registry (though it's smaller, yep). -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
