We still need to stop creating our own initrd and be using the initramfs
created by the stock mkinitrd and just do the necessary livecd changes
with our own secondary initramfs that contains a replacement mkrootdev
instead of using the nash built-in.  I started on this before leaving on
vacation, after I get a chance to sit at my desk later today, I'll send
what I have.

I'd rather be handling this just by setting things
in /etc/sysconfig/selinux.  Managing kernel options is the road to pain.

Lokkit really needs to be installed -- we all but count on it always
being present with anaconda.
