Setting up initrd / Using a RAM Disk (Is there a (good) alternative?) to make a jaz the root fs with a PCMCIA scsi adapter

[Asher Haig <ahaig@warped-reality.com>]

I want to use a jaz disk as my root fs. The problem that I'm running into 
is that I need to use a pcmcia scsi adapter -- and pcmcia services are 
loaded off the hd. I need to repartition the HD, so of course I can't be 
using that as a root fs.

It seems from what I'm reading in teh docs that I can use initrd to load 
those pcmcia modules and then mount /dev/sda1 as the root fs. How do I go 
about doing this? I'm lost as far as how to set up initrd and how to make 
it use /dev/sda1 after that. 

Please! Help! I desperately need to repartition and I can't figure out 
where to start.
