You'd have to edit arch/arm/mach-orion5x/ts209-setup.c and compile your own kernel, but I'm not sure it's worth it. OTOH, since RootFS2 is right behind RootFS1, you could manually split the ramdisk and write the first 4 MB to RootFS1 and the remaining 1 MB to RootFS2. This way, you could keep the Debian kernel and just need to change u-boot. -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/
