initrd-archive, which currently dynamically creates a minix fs on /dev/ram0.
The idea is to allow bypassing rd.mkminixfs, and mount the
root using ramfs. (Cleaner, easier, less memory at boot, more effecient memory
during operation. )
I just really have no idea how to mount ramfs from within the kernel.
