Well you can build LVM into the kernel, but you still won't be able to hit
your root filesystem until you do a vgscan, so you need a script with a
small ramdisk rootfs that will do that and then pivot_root(8) so you can
continue booting normally.  (There is a script that generates such an
initrd image; google lvm2root.)
