In the 2.4.20 kernel, when using DEVFS the ramdisk naming is
inconsistent. /dev/ramdisk/0 works for the kernel parameter initrd=
while /dev/rd/0 works in fstab.
For clarity: before DEVFS loads it must be referenced as /dev/ramdisk/0,
yet DEVFS registers /dev/rd/<n>

devfsd.conf has some stuff in it about making symlinks. Maybe this would work
for you. It is worth a look.
