2.6 can use initramfs which should provoke fun and games.
I''ve Googled, but can't find a good up-to-date explanation.

I had thought this would be handy for setting up our cluster slave
nodes, but its probably not appropriate for that.


I read abot initramfs when I saw an article on the kexec patch,
which enables swapping of kernels on a running system. 
Scary stuff, but I would like to give it a whirl.
