suffisant space for U-Boot, Linux and an initrd image ? (4MB SDRAM)

Hi all,
I would like to know if this is possible to port U-Boot, Linux and an initrd image on a board with 4MB of SDRAM ?
When Linux try to boot, there is this line on the terminal :
"Memory : 2036k available (1036k kernel code, 256k data, 80k init, 0k highmem)"
So I have 2036k memory available for my initrd image but I don't know if this is suffisant.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Fabien.

Only 4MB of sdram? As far as I know the smallest device with Linux is picotux with 8MB of ram and 2MB of flash.
