This is the tail end of the script I wrote to make a bootable RAM
disk for an embedded system. I assure you that ttyS0, ttyS1m and null
work fine. You must make sure that you have actually created the
devices in /dev

# Compress the RAM Disk image into a file on the mounted file-system.
# Remove the original RAM Disk image, then copy the required boot
# files to the mounted file-system also.

umount ${RAMDISK}
dd if=${RAMDISK_IMAGE} bs=1k count=${DISKSIZE} | gzip -9 >/mnt/initrd-${VER}
rm -f ${RAMDISK_IMAGE}
rmdir ${RAMDISK}

cp ${SYS} /mnt/vmlinuz-${VER}
cp /boot/boot.b /mnt/boot.b
cp message /mnt/message
