Re: can't make a boot floppy that uses RAMDISK

["Susan G. Kleinmann" <sgk@sgk.tiac.net>]

Stephen Early and Bruce Perens both asked whether I'd configured the
RAMdisk into the kernel.

I had, but had done it as a module.

When I set both 
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
the kernel-image that's produced does in fact work with a ramdisk.

BTW, in order to make the bootdisk.sh program in the boot-floppies package
work with the Debian package output by the new kernel-image making program, 
it's necessary to change this line:
       j=${1##*/image-}
to this one:
       j=${1##*/kernel-image-}

Otherwise, the script fails when it tries to do something with sed.

Thanks for your help!
