I would imagine the only real constraint is the Linux kernel.  I
couldn't say for sure, but I wonder if it doesn't require Minix v1 for
its initrd (initial RAM disk, in our case, root.lrp).

However.... for RAMdisk volumes other than / I don't see why you
couldn't use ext2fs if you really wanted to, or anything else for that
matter (ext3? reiserfs?).

You'd have to make sure you configured the system correctly, and rooted
out any assumptions made somewhere that the Minix v1 filesystem was
being used.
