I modified the kernel to answer the questions for me :)
So now I have Oxygen booting with a standard Linux kernel - very nice.
Too bad that the initrd_archive patch seems to be going away...

I've noticed that the cdrom.cfg, smallnet.cfg, etc. configuration files on

Instead, they are inside the root.lrp, in /var/boot/config.
This is different from the standard floppy boot images, where the .cfg

At least for 2.4 kernels this isn't completely correct. I put together a

1. initrd.gz is loaded into /dev/ram0 (ROOT=/dev/ram0)
2. The kernel recognizes root is /dev/ram0, and does NOT run /linuxrc
3. The kernel then releases memory and exits the load process
4. The kernel runs init (INIT=/linuxrc)
