As far as I know the BlueCat Root File System (RFS) is not
exactly the same thing than initrd. The RFS is similar to the
one used on LynxOS. On a BlueCat Linux kernel you must set
CONFIG_BLUECAT_RFS (and unset CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD) to enable
the BlutCat RFS kernel extension but I guess the kernel you
use is not from BlueCat anyhow. There are also differences in
the way the rootfs is setup at boot time.

Hope this helps,

Wolfgang.
