Thanks for the hint! Actually what I can do in initramfs is just:
-----------------------------
trigger_all_events
# now lets find device by uuid. UUID value is hardcoded to /init by my
mkinitramfs script.
timeout0
while ((timeout > 0); do
    if [[ -e /dev/disk/by-uuid/$UUID ]];
        ROOTDEV=/dev/disk/by-uuid/$UUID
        break
    fi
    let timeout --
    sleep 1
done
if [[ "$ROOTDEV" != "" ]]; then
    mount $ROOTDEV  /newroot -o ro -t $(vol_id -t $ROOTDEV)
else
     exit
fi
-----------------------------
Another question:
Why halt command does not work in during initramfs?
How can I properly halt system at this stage?
For now I just use 'exit', but this is unpretty, since I get "kernel
panic - attempted to kill init"

Already there - actually I've posted a forward of the message I've sent to him.


P.S. Thank you guys for your great work! For me, udev and friends is
one of the most exciting features of 2.6.x
