Hmm... you can specify the exact ramdisk size to use in BootX though.

Ok, that rules that out...

At the bottom of the USB page in menuconfig are the input layer options.
Simply enabling USB does not affect them.

How do you know? The "input layer" is a very specific term for a recent
feature. Of course "input" works fine before that. Also, even with the input
layer enabled, I believe it defaults to off; your startup scripts must enable
it. This is the case in YDL2, and is not the case on older distributions like
LinuxPPC.
