John,

I kind of cheated and used the DENX ELDK (http://www.denx.de) ramdisk that
came with his stuff (mainly for the /dev entries).

But there is also a good tutorial on how to create ramdisk images.

http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Bootdisk-HOWTO/buildroot.html

The only thing that I do differently is that I use a loopback device like
so:
  mount -t ext2 filename /mnt/image -o loop
This stops mount from complaining to me and I like that.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Cheers,
Brian Padalino
