You'd have to edit arch/arm/mach-orion5x/ts209-setup.c and compile
your own kernel, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
OTOH, since RootFS2 is right behind RootFS1, you could manually split
the ramdisk and write the first 4 MB to RootFS1 and the remaining 1 MB
to RootFS2. This way, you could keep the Debian kernel and just need
to change u-boot.
