Shouldn't the initrd wait for your desired rootfs to become available and shouldn't the rootfs be specified by UUID rather than /dev/sdXY?

Feature availability-based boot

Same for any feature required at boot-up, like network: it could be the initramfs' job to wait until the feature is available...

Maybe event-based init might help here?
