Ok, now this is exactly what I do.  The initrd doesn't get overwritten
anymore.  The function mount_root is called, the root device is opened
but I get a panic at:

        sb = get_super(ROOT_DEV);
        if (sb) { goto mount_it}
        ...

        read_unlock(&file_systems_lock);
        panic("VFS: Unable to mount root fs on %s", kdevname(ROOT_DEV));
You'll also get this error if your kernel has not been built with
support for the filesystem (e.g. ext2) contained on your initrd.

Good luck, Kyle.
