genkernel-3.4.10.904 includes all md-modules I have compiled as modules (md_mod dm_mirror raid10 raid456 raid1 raid0) into the initramfs, though I configure DMRAID="no" in /etc/genkernel.conf and my cmd line is $ genkernel ramdisk The modules are also all loaded when booting. (I really don't need them: I can unload them afterwards.) Also the NFS client modules are included and loaded without having requested "--netboot". (And why is the "fuse" module there?)

The DMRAID option controls the building of the tools. It does not disable support in the resulting kernel. If you want to do that, invoke with --menuconfig and disable it yourself. The NFS code came long before the --netboot options existed. They are mostly unrelated and you can remove the NFS client modules the same way as above.
