usb external drive

[Rick Thomas]

Hi Eddie,

Could you share with us the magic secrets of setting up an initrd (on an
old-world machine, in my case -- but advice for new-world machines would
be apperciated too!) to pre-load drivers (again, in my case, SCSI, USB,
and FireWire -- but others would be appreciated too!)

Thanks!

Rick
