The amiga nativehd ram disk shouldn't require a ramdisk=.

The installer > has been loading lots of ide modules, so there must be modules somewhere. Sounds like nic-shared-modules didn't get put on the image, which is likely the case for cdrom. They should be there on the nativehd, but apparently I goofed. Hopefully they'll be there for tomorrow's daily. In any case, I missed the zorro8390, so it'll have to wait until the next linux-kernel-di upload (.52). In the meantime, if you want to mess with an initrd directly, it's just a gzipped ext2 image.
