One argument is quite clear here:
bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(console) root=/dev/ram0 rw load_ramdisk=1 

It obviously boots into the busybox of the ramdisk...
Which means... For now, there is no rootfs, there is only a ramdisk.

Try to increase rootfssize=0x000000 to something a little bit bigger than 0
then the kernel will maybe create a rootfs partition where you can store
nonvolatile rootfs-data.

Hope that helps
