I realised two things were wrong:
My image is 256000 bytes decompressed, even though theres only 180mb of
data on the drive. So I have to specify: ramdisk_blocksize=1024 (at bb's

This way you're creating a ramdisk inside UML and using it as root, which
won't work. What you want would be ubd0=/dev/ram or something like that.
Ive got a 170mb root fs im trying to use through a ramdisk
