The initrd is 3MB uncompressed. I require a few utilities (bash, echo, mount, tar, and umount).
When the system boots and loads the initrd, it mounts hda1 which contains a root tarball. It then extracts the tar into the ramdisk. So it requires a few system libraries. c, ld, dl, rt (tar), termcap, pthread. I think what I am going to do is just use linuxbios + etherboot to boot an elf image from the ide disk, and move the partitions down.
