The main problem with the initrd is that it is very difficult to build one
that doesn't exactly match your existing system.
So if you have a running machine with one hard drive and you want to add
another and make it use software RAID, or if you want to convert to devfs
then things will be quite painful for you as the initrd will want to work in
the old way.
