I want my / to be a ramfs filesystem. I intend to populate it from an
initrd image, and then remount / as the ramfs filesystem. Is that at
all possible? The way I see it the kernel requires / on a device
(major,minor) or nfs.

Am I out of luck using ramfs as /? If it's easy to fix, how do I fix it?
