Yes, and other architectures have support for passing arguments to the kernel that tell it where the ramdisk is. I don't know that we've done that for MIPS, yet. It wouldn't be too hard to do and maybe someone on this list is already working on it (I think someone actually is working on it and was preparing a patch for Ralf). > The ramdisk should be separate from the kernel image.
