I believe so. I only used these 2 files from:
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/daily/iop32x/network-console/ss4000e/

Then loaded them with:

load -v -r -b 0x01800000 -m ymodem ramdisk.gz
load -v -r -b 0x01008000 -m ymodem zImage
exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 rw root=/dev/ram mem=256M@0xa0000000" -r
0x01800000
This started the installer. After the installer I believe I had to make
this a permanent boot script so again in redboot I did:

fconfig boot_script_data
fis load -b 0x01800000 ramdisk.gz
fis load -b 0x01008000 zImage
exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 rw root=/dev/ram mem=256M@0xa0000000" -r
0x01800000

Yes, I have /dev/ram and it works.

Important thing to note is that whenever you copy/paste these commands make
sure the double quotes/apostrophes are correct ", not anything else. And
note that sometimes the 'x' might not be x, but some character resembling x.

So it's best to type them

rammode from my SS4000-E:

I really hope this works for you. I've been lost with this system too :-)
