Tested with dracut-004-39.el6 with "rdbreak=pre-trigger rdbreak=initqueue
rdbreak=pre-pivot rdshell rdinsmodpost=vfat" on the command line. 

Dracut stopped in several places for debugging. At every step I've inspected
/proc/modules to see if vfat module was loaded:

pre-trigger: no
initqueue: no
pre-pivot: yes
switch_root: yes

Moving to VERIFIED.
