Loading Cpio (gz) image as rootfs

[Benoit RAT]

Sorry to bother again but I found the solution. maybe it can help someone:

initrd need start and size parameters.
As, size can be bigger then real size of image.cpio.gz, I set it to 32M
like the addpart command.

bootargs="$bootargs initrd=0x72000000,33554432"
