[issue461] grml2ram does not wait for USB devices

New submission from Marc 'Zugschlus' Haber <mh+bts-grml at zugschlus.de>:

Booting grml-medium 0.1 "Pfuh" from USB. grml toram works fine, but since it 
copies the entire USB stick to RAM takes a long time if the server only has USB 
1.1.

grml2ram, otoh, does not seem to wait long enough for the USB stuff to settle 
and drops me to a shell after "Searching for GRML file". scandelay=60 does not 
help, the shell is invoked significantly earlier than 60 seconds.

On the system in question, monitoring /proc/partitions at this shell shows that 
the partition "sda" appears significantly earlier than sda4, the partition that 
holds the grml stuff. Maybe the boot process of grml2ram chokes about this.

Greetings
Marc
