Wrong. PROM calls allow SILO to load the initrd from the disk into 
memory, just as it does with the kernel. That is the whole point of initrd.

The rest of the modules you noted as missing benefit from the initial
ramdisk hack. The problem is that for some reason Daniel doesn't have 
any working initrds. Daniel, could you attach "ls -l /boot" from your 
machine?
