[U-Boot-Users] RAMDisk on MPC5200

[Jon Smirl]

I have a new Phytec MPC5200 board and I'm trying to figure out how to
get Linux booting on it. I have the kernel all built and I want to use
a NFS root file system. When I use u-boot to tftp load the kernel, it
errors out loading the RAMDisk.

Who is requesting the RAMDisk be loaded, is this coming from the
kernel or u-boot? Since I am booting from a NFS root I don't need a
RAMdisk so I want to turn this off.  I'm using OSELAS MPC5200-tiny-5
to build but I'll switch to another environment if needed to work
around this.
