I tested the method I described with a prebuilt shim that was built with the kernel command line: init=/linuxrc root=/dev/mtdblock4 rootfstype=jffs2 rw noirqdebug console=ttyS0,115200n8 The kernel boots, but obviously, because the command line above does not give the correct location for the initrd or the root partition, the system fails to start correctly. With a shim that contained the correct kernel command line, the installer should start. So, to do what you were trying to do in your original email requires a few more steps.
