Yeah, it's quite handy.  I always thought it was kinda ironic, though, 
that you could load initrd in order to load a required disk driver.  
Kinda like on NetWare being able to start the system up but then needing 
to load a disk driver to read the disk once the NW kernel is up and 
running (but not exactly the same).
