I'm trying to boot a current kernel on the Efika like this:
boot hd:0 efika init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 looptype=squashfs
loop=/squashfs.img cdroot

It is not finding the initrd.
I added some printks and start_initrd is not getting set.

The 2.6.19 gentoo kernel described here boots and finds the same initrd

Something is missing in the hand off from the OF to the kernel code.
I'm poking around in powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c
looking for answers.
