booting grml via firewire

grml boots via firewire. Thanks to Martin Buchleitner for helping me to locate the problem, now we will officially support booting grml via firewire starting with the upcoming release(s).

BTW: I renamed the usb-cheatcode to scandelay and slightly improved it. Now it’s possible to add a delay of some seconds to the boot sequence so the modules in the initrd have enough time to access the devices. Currently scandelay uses a default of 10 seconds, using a parameter makes it more flexible - e.g. scandelay=3 will add a delay of only 3 seconds.
