kernel that tell it where the ramdisk is. I don't know that we've done
that for MIPS, yet. It wouldn't be too hard to do and maybe someone on
this list is already working on it (I think someone actually is working
on it and was preparing a patch for Ralf).
that knows where to find the ramdisk. RedBoot, from what i read, seems to be
i386 specific. The Yamon i've patched "COULD" be made to do it.
boards I support in the linux kernel - it took a few days. When you have ported it
you almost instantly have a really nice embedded operating system too. Perhaps
you were confusing it with GRUB?
How this helps with ramdisks I don't know :-).
