Kerlen 2.4.13 and ramdisks

If you have loopback support compiled in you can mount it directly through 
the loopback driver, without creating a ramdisk ...

What was the error that mount gave?  You probably only need to specify
the "-o" parameter ... mount doesn't usually detect fancy filesystems ...
