Where can I find a document that describes how to include a RAM disk
image (initrd ?) in the linux kernel image?
I want to put the entire image in flash, boot from flash and use a RAM
disk for the root file system.
I know how to create a RAM disk image. I just don't know where to put
it in the linux tree so it is linked into the final linux image. Also I
am assuming there needs to be some commands on the linux boot prompt.
What is required to use a RAM disk image as the root file system.

Generic [terse] instructions (assuming makefiles, etc. are correct):
Call the ramdisk image ramdisk.image.gz and put it in arch/ppc/boot/images
then run "make zImage.initrd"
You should end up with something like
arch/ppc/boot/images/zImage.initrd.xxx
