See http://www.denx.de/doc/TQM8xxL/ for an example, allthough  for  a
different board.

To build a ramdisk image you could use our SELF package as a starting
point, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/SELF/

BTW: maybe the IPHASE4539 config option is a bit familiar to you :-)


Best regards,
