Can one possibility for this be to just generate the loopback-mountable |
| 16 |
ramdisk as the final catalyst product along with a tar.bz2 of the same data |
| 17 |
(i.e., skip kernel compiliation)? In the case of mips netboots, systems whose |
| 18 |
kernels can be built w/ ramdisks will use the loopback image, while the others |
| 19 |
will use the tar.bz2 for nfsroot. |

Also, will this be able to use uclibc by chance? |
