Hi All

I am using a PPC 440 evaluation Kit with openbios as the monitor code. I
have successfully download kernel image using the NFS. Now I want to create
a RAMDISK for the PPC 440. After which I want to download the RAMDISK and
the kernel image to the RAM. My question is, using the monitor
code(OpenBios), is it possible to download both the image ie RAMDISK and
Kernel image to the RAM.
Put your compressed ramdisk image in arch/ppc/boot/images/ramdisk.image.gz
and make the zImage.initrd target.  The resulting zImage.initrd.ebony
has the compressed ramdisk image linked in.
