Yes, I have done this myself when booting from a CD. I load the kernel and the initramfs into memory and then boot. Here is my configured bootline to do it:

kernel linux
append ramdisk_size=64000 initrd=base_fs init=/sbin/init root=/dev/ram0 rw

Hi,

I'm trying to use an embedded cpio archieve (initramfs) to boot my
embedded board, and I'm curious is there a way to let initramfs be the
final root filesystem for my kernel?

Thanks,

Rajat
