Then just pass the command line option to sleep for a while
before
looking for the root device.? I do that just fine on
my tiny dns server
that runs from a USB flash drive.

Look in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for the
rootdelay= option
for more details as to what to do.

It worked like a charm. Looking at kernel-parameters.txt, I also 
came across rootwait option. 

If someone reads this and is trying 
something similar (using lilo) you may find this useful:
