Arrrrggghhhh!!! Why do you write "EST sbc8260" in the subject, then?

I have downloaded the simple-ramdisk-PPCBoot supplied

This ancient ramdisk image is NOT suitable to a MPC82xx processor.  I
have  removed  it  from our FTP server some time ago, and I recommend
everybody to rm it, too.

Please use a SELF image from the
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/SELF/images/ directory
instead.

I tftpboot the kernel to 100000, the simple-ramdisk to 300000
set boot args to root=/dev/ram rw   then    bootm 100000 300000
and still run into problems:

It would have been extremely useful if you had actually shown HOW you
do this, and the relevanlt lines for the kernel boot log. Instead you
just send a useless snippet.

Here is the last part of the start up log

...

...which is more or less useless without the first part  which  shows
which boot arguments you actually passed to the kernel.

devfs: v1.12c (20020818) Richard Gooch (rgooch@atnf.csiro.au)
devfs: devfs_debug: 0x0
devfs: boot_options: 0x1

Try disabling devfs in your kernel configuration.
