initrds are scanned as they are discovered in grub.conf.

The test for febootstrap-to-initramfs' --nocompress option
was always failing for me on F11.  Here's why:

  $ bash                               ~/w/co/libguestfs:210-comment-fix

  [Exit 1]
  $ if ! echo $t|grep -sq -- --nocompress; then echo not found; fi

because I happen to have a temporary file named "k":

  $ echo $t
  Usage: febootstrap-to-initramfs [--files=filelist] k DIR Please read
  febootstrap-to-initramfs(8) man page for more information.

  $ echo [--z]
  a b c
  $ echo [--a]
  a
  $ echo [--b]
  a b

it's interpreting [--nocompress] as a range: "-" through "n", plus
the other characters, ocmpres.  "k" falls in the --n range.

Anyhow, here's the fix:
