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? |
