i figure someone here has probably done this -- just as
proof-of-concept, i want to create a kernel that incorporates a
standalone initramfs root filesystem. if it's useful to know, it will
be for a powerpc lite5200 board.
it's not something i'd do in normal practice, but it's for a course
i'm teaching in a couple weeks, and i thought it would be fun to show
how it works. i've never done it myself, so i just want to know what
limits or issues i'd run into, such as a hard limit on initramfs size
or anything else.
obviously, i'll try to build as small an initramfs as possible. as
i said, it's not meant to be practical so much as just a demo of it
being a possibility.
