With bzImage + initrd it is possible to boot a SCSI-only system with the complete SCSI-subsystem as loadable modules. You only have to have one filesystem and the ramdisk driver compiled into the kernel. Sometime in the not to distant future you will even be able to have those as modules... but don't hold your breath...
