From Charles Steinkuehler) the hack to linuxrc to extend the kernel command line [show below] is not necessary in Dachstein.

Long package paths and module lists can be added to the files pkgpath.cfg and lrpkg.cfg, respectively, on the boot= device. Details are documented in the Dachstein-CD Readme, but the functionality is in the floppy releases as well... http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/Packages/LRP-CD.htm.
