I have an external usb hard drive I would like to use
to install and test different distributions on. I
want to do this instead of installing on my internal
hard drive and erasing my current distribution. Is
there a way that I can change the kernel so that the
usb mass storage driver is loaded before the root file
system is mounted? I found the following patch that
waits until the driver loads:

Is there other ways of doing this without using
initrd?
