Any reason why we don't have a single directory for a ramdisk linker 
script and Makefile? I've attached that does that. You just put a 
ramdisk.gz image in arch/mips/ramdisk and turn on initrd support. At 
somepoint I'll upload some useful ramdisks to the sourceforge linux-mips 
anonymous ftp site.
