Perhaps you would be better served by starting with a fully functional
initramfs (or initrd) implementation that is in active use, then
extending (or adapting) it to do what you wanted?
Ubuntu Linux and Debian unstable have the 'initramfs-tools' package
which currently boots a number of software RAID machines for me, and
seems a fairly reasonably understandable implementation of the concept.

Daniel
