Looking at the mkinitrd script I found the following:

note the 'exit 0'

---------------------------------------------------------
        --preload*)
            if echo $1 | grep '=' >/dev/null ; then
                modname=`echo $1 | sed 's/^--preload=//'`
            else
                modname=$2
                shift
            fi
            PREMODS="$PREMODS $modname"
            echo PRE $PREMODS
            exit 0
            ;;
