If I understand right, the steps are:
1. Create and compile a kernel of your choice.
2. Create a Minix file system and populate it with the contents of
root.lrp
3. Compress the Minix filesystem with gzip and put on disk as initrd.gz
4. Modify linuxrc to run /sbin/init at the end

Actually, Oxygen does NOT do this, as busybox is

I don't think this is the best way to solve this. IMHO, it's better to
have
the kernel boot with root=[!ram0], which will get linuxrc running.
I don't know what you mean by that... What would root= be, then? And
what does that have to do with /linuxrc?

I saw initrd.txt - and have 2.4 systems here, too. Doing a which
pivot_root or a man pivot_root fails on all systems

I was going through past mailing list messages (I have 1301 on hand :)
and was trying to find out what had been going on with patching 2.4 for
LEAF.
I remembered that the LRP patches were made obsolete, both by massive
changes to the kernel initrd code and by the future removal of initrd,
as
