The question was: how do switch from the initrd to using the ramfs as /?
Using pivot_root should do it (after the pivot, you can of course nuke
the initrd ramdisk.)

Hi,
I read your post and I think I have just what you're looking for. I've
attached a patch that allows you to mount root as ramfs and populate
it directly from a tar archive (specified just like an initrd image,
but without having to deal with a fixed-size initrd or pivot_root at
all.) This was

I want my / to be a ramfs filesystem. I intend to populate it from an
initrd image, and then remount / as the ramfs filesystem. Is that at
all possible? The way I see it the kernel requires / on a device
(major,minor) or nfs.
Am I out of luck using ramfs as /? If it's easy to fix, how
