Which is clearly painful, and way overkill. First you asked the wrong question looking from an initrd with a 64bit user space. Even for a 64bit kernel you don't need a 64bit user space and 32bit is smaller and more common. Second you looked in the wrong place. What you want is: http://kboot.sourceforge.net/ The intro page lists kboot-9 as being only 39K. I think that is just the kboot part but it might be the entire initrd. Using uclibc I am certain it is below 1M. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to build it yet. (Sorry Werner). Check it out just skimming through the documentation it looks like it has already surpassed FILO in capabilities.
