DOC + GRUB + MTD + compressed ext2 root ramdisk

[mark a. mixson]

Ilguiz,

You essentially solved my problem (:  chroot was what I needed.  I found
that my libraries needed to be executable.  David Woodhouse pointed that out
on another post on this mailing-list
(http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2001-December/003695.html).
At least I found out my problem -- thanks everyone.

Have you tried chroot-ing into the ramdisk image and starting /bin/sh there?

One can also try to create a romfs ramdisk for a read-only boot.  This would
help to dissect the problem area.
