does anyone know from which address does the kernel load the initrd? I
mean the default value?
I want to boot the filesystem using a ramdisk. but the I don't know
where to put it in my ram? as I don't have flash , I can only load the
ramdisk into the ram.
and which boot option should I use?
thanks
regards,
yang

hi peter,
thanks for your reply.
my platform is realview_eb_mpcore. the cpu is arm. not i386. and I
check the booting file in the documentation /arm , it is not
specified.
do you have any idea about that?
anyone knows?
thanks,
regards,
