Syslinux - Aug 2005 - I want to use a ram disk as / after network booting.

Hi
 
I am an engineer who is making communication systems.
I have a board(made by Kontron ltd, Intel CPU, currently with diskless )
that is used in compactPCI.
I boot that board with network PXELINUX method and currently using NFS.
But I don't want to use NFS and I want to make and use ram disk image.
That means I want to use a ram disk as /.
Currently I made a initrd by ltsp_initrd_kit.
What should I have to change in 'linuxrc' file and pxelinux.cfg/default
file. And how can I make ram disk image.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
HCK.

This is completely probabble, but you should ask may be on LTSP mailing list, 
since syslinux allways allow to use a ramdisk as rootfs (syslinux is only the 
bootloader) and this is OFF TOPIC.

The mail of the list: 
ltsp-discuss at lists.sourceforge.net

There are several open source thin client distributions that use a 
permanent initrd (or initramfs).  Try Thinstation.sf.net, PXES.sf.net or 
DIET-PC.sf.net.  LTSP is not suitable for this purpose.
