Dear "Boswell, Patrick",

This is a Linux question, not an U-oot one, so you are actually off
topic here.

No, it will not work.  You want to read
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and Documentation/initrd.txt in
your Linux kernel tree.

Best regards,

Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to  write,  it
should be hard to understand.
