How does boot loader tell the kernel, the location of initrd?

Hi,

I am experimenting with initrd and my initrd fails to mount. My
bootloader (U-BOOT) coorectly loads the initrd into RAM as I can see.

I am wondering how does the kernel get to know the address at which
the initrd is loaded by boot loader? How does the boot loader
communicate this to the kernel?

Any code references will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rajat

PS: I am not using initramfs (emebedding root filesystem into kernel image).
