RPX-CLLF & Flash root filesystem

Hello Scott,
initrd.txt is only part of the answer. I'm missing info on how to tell
Linux where to fetch the root filesystem.
Once a minimal/functional root filesystem has been created (and
compressed), you have to put it somewhere in the Flash memory (just like
the Linux image).
When the system boots, it needs to "see" this root filesystem that is
inside the flash.

I will continue to experiment different things.
