I tried it this way, but no difference, left as you suggest.

The initrd on the floppy sleeps 5 secs while the USB initialises, then
mounts the USB pen drive, zcats the root file system image to another
ramdisk, and pivots onto it, so the USB pen drive is not normally used
post boot (the flash used on them has a finite number of reads/writes
and is slower than ram). Well, that's the plan anyway....

Thanks a lot so far. Any other ideas? Probably something silly/stupid.

Cheers,
