Is there any docs for this floating around outside of the blurb on the LMO wiki?

Doing a few tests with this, I was unable to get a kernel to see the ramdisk. 
 Despite there being an initramfs built into the kernel, there were no 
"RAMDISK: Compressed ramdisk found at block 0" messages, or no "checking if 
image is initramfs...it isn't (no cpio magic); looks like an initrd" messages 
that I've commonly seen with built-in ramdisks.
I figure in the end, either the problem is PEBKAC, invalid kernel command line 
params (root=/dev/ram0?), or broken code.
