I know earlier versions of NASH employed a findlodev, which is 
non-functional now.
Should we use this sort of approach?

If this doesn't need to be dynamically set, surely something like this 
should be sufficient:
modules = ["squashfs", "loop", "scsi_mod", "sd_mod"]
output = open("%s/etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd" %(sysdir,))
output.write(MODULES="%s" %(modules,))
output.close()
