It should be but there can be issues with that.

Nope. There's another flag '-t' that tells the bootstrap to load kernel
and/or ramdisk to the TT-RAM. If you omit both these parameters then
there's some auto-detection going on, IIRC. Not sure what are the
defaults so simply go ahead with the -t. It's been more than a decade
when I last hacked on the bootstrap so forgive any inaccurate
information, please.
