Tested by Ben Peddell <klightspeed at killerwolves.net> (specifically kirkwood-ds210.dts on DS211j)

To get running on the stock bootloader, I needed to extend the 
initramfs to fill the entire rd.gz flash partition, configure the 
kernel to use the dtb appended to it, configure it to ignore the 
information passed to it by the bootloader, and add the following 
nodes to the dts:

/chosen {
	linux,initrd-start = <0x800040>;
	linux,initrd-end   = <0x940000>;
};
