Maybe you can convert the initrd into a cpio archive and append it at the kernel image. I heard this is supposed to work, I haven't tried it myself. > The way to go apparently is to build a kernel with the mips config option > CONFIG_EMBEDDED_RAMDISK so that the initrd image is embedded with the > kernel image. I'll try that tomorrow and see what happens.
