  nope, that failed, and here's why: there's no /etc/init.d directory
in the initrd.  /etc/udev is there, and the hdparm-related files are
there in /etc/udev, and they look correct, but how could that possibly
have any effect unless the corresponding /etc/init.d/hdparm script was
in the initrd as well?  i only noticed that after the boot once again
timed out, fell into busybox, after which i tried to run

  # /etc/init.d/hdparm hotplug

manually, and noticed it was missing.

  how is this supposed to work without that script in the initrd?  or
am i just totally confused by now?
