The initial ram disk is only needed if the drivers for your root file
system are compiled as a module, instead of built in the kernel. (Or if
you did something strange like put /lib or /lib/modules on a seperate
partation, and need a module to access it.)
When it comes time to load your ethernet modules, you normaly have the
root file system loaded, so you can load the modules directly. (The
exception to this is NFS mounted / directory...)
Chances are, in this case what is missing is the alias in
/etc/config.modules or /etc/modules.config. Or the network has not been
configured, and the module doesn't get loaded, because it doesn't get
called.
