     Yes, you must include everything needed to read the cdrom. It's 
true it includes the scsi bundle and the USB stack, but not the disk 
controllers. And support for union filesystems only if they are needed 
to mount the cdrom ( don't see why). My own trend would be to rebuild 
the kernel with those drivers statically linked and boot directly to the 
cdrom without and initramfs.
