What other informatin would be useful?  This has got me stumped.  The
ramdisk support in the kernel seems to be working OK.  I booted the
system up with an nfs mounted root partition and did the following:

	#dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1k count=4096
	#dd if=/fs of=/dev/ram0    (fs is my filesystem image)

This went off without a hitch so I tried mounting /dev/ram0:

	#mount /dev/ram0 /mnt

also fine and when I look in /mnt the filesystem looks OK too.

Thanks,
Andy
