Actually, mkcramfs just makes a cramfs image. It's initrd-tools that
contains mkinitrd which makes initrd images.

If you're building a cramfs or romfs image, then root is unnecessary as
fakeroot works just fine.

hi ya will
there is no initrd howto that i could find...
those docs i did find in google searches were out of date
and incomplete in terms of getting a flash disk that you can boot
into /dev/ram0
-- lets assume that tomsrtbt is too small on the 1.77Mb floppy

hi stefan...
mkinitrd ...
or take an existing initrd.gz file...decompress it
into /dev/ram or /dev/loop
than change the kernel to your version, add your libs/commands
and other stuff you want in the initrd to make your system
bootable
and compress that /dev/loop image into your_init
