I waited at initramfs prompt for 5 - 10 minutes, didn't give any
commands, then I tried to exit.
This fails basically stating that root device is not there. Which is of
course true as it should come up with dmraid.

So, with giving explicitly the command dmraid -ay in initramfs the
system is able to continue booting and seems to be ok from dmraid
viewpoint. If no commands are given the boot is stuck in initramfs prompt.
