I am setting up an embedded system that's supposed to run from RAMDISK
only.
You really should not do this. The RAMDISK kernel uses the
SMALL_KERNEL option, and this can have all sorts of unknown effects.
I appreciate you comment, but it seems I'm missing something or there's
a misunderstanding. I don't see the connection between using mount_mfs
and the ramdisk kernel. I don't think I'm using a ramdisk kernel. I'm
using a self compiled standard kernel, only I am creating a ramdisk with
mount_mfs in my init-script, copy my stuff into that ramdisk and chroot
to it. I don't see there's anything wrong with this?
