I've heard back from yaird; they don't load ide-cd because they don't need it to load the initial root directory. That's a feature, not a bug.

For initramfs, udev provided the scripts/init-bottom/udev script that checked to see if an ide device was a cdrom and then loaded that CDROM.

How does udev intend to work under yaird, which doesn't have scripts of this nature? What program is responsible for loading ide-cd automatically during boot?

I could write a udev rule to check each ide drive as it loaded, and modprobe ide-cd if the drive is a CDROM drive -- that'd be similar to the udev script I reference above. However, I suspect that I'm missing some basic understanding of how the modules are supposed to be loaded for yaird+udev.
