RAMDISK: incomplete write (ramdisk too small?)

hi, Albert
    Thanks a lot.
    It doesn't complain now and mounts initrd now. But it still has some problem.
    It immediately umount initrd and mount disk fs. I think there is no program in ramdisk. I only installed busybox into the ramdisk.
    What more is needed to make up of the ramdisk.
Thanks!
