Creating a ramdisk

Using these directions...

1. Catch the bootloader using the RedBoot directions.
2. Add the kernel parameter: ramdisk_size=3000 (expressed in 1024-byte blocks)
3. Added the following script as /etc/init.d/ramdisk
4. Add a symlink:

$ cd etc/rc.d/rc3.d/

$ ln -s ../../init.d/dropbear S99dropbear

The init.d script
