This question is not clear. "Booting from a ramdisk"?

U-Boot does support using a ramdisk as a root filesystem, and this is
pretty well documented - both in the README and a bit more in  detail
in the DULG (http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/LinuxRamdiskRoot)


But if you mean that you want to  put  a  Linux  kernel  image  in  a
ramdisk based filesystem - well, this simply makes no sense at all.

Best regards,
