| |
Hi, list.
My MIPS machine has no any disks or flopies. So i obliged to use a RAM disk with a file system on it, which is mounted as root. I use gzipped initrd image, which is linked to the special section in the kernel during compilation. Now, the RAM disk size is really big, so i decide to use cramfs instead of ext2. In scripts/cramfs/ I found an utility that creates cramfs file system image. But i read in rd.c, that RAM disk driver doesn't support the cramfs.
After i create an image, how can i mount it as root file system? Where i must put it? Which kernel command line options i must use?
Please answer, or point me to any documentation or mailing list.
