Using cramfs as root filesystem on diskless machine

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
