aha, okay. so ramfs/inode.c defines init_rootfs, which in fact *is* absolutely needed by the kernel in fs/namespace.c
but then Configure.help is missleading, and RAMFS should not be a CONFIG_ option anyway.
: Simple RAM-based file system support : CONFIG_RAMFS : Ramfs is a file system which keeps all files in RAM. It allows : read and write access. : : It is more of an programming example than a usable file system. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
wrong.
