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!
