And how can I make ram disk image.
I'd love to hear pros/cons of using the initrd for ever, vs using the initrd to unwind a root fs into ram, then pivot root to ram. I've done both. The only caveat I've got: if you unwind a usb-mem stick (even a fast stick) it's s--o-- s--l--o--w-- (100s K/sec no Ms/sec!!)
