When I get home, I can email you this file. It would be a real pain to
reproduce all the stuff in this image.

Check out the following sites for more info on ramdisks ::

The intel site is pretty good as an introduction to tools and arm-linux.

Using my bootloader on a custom board, I just put the kernel at 0xC0008000 and
