i'll be happy to test, but sadly i can not help to get it merged :(
ok, point me to a kernel that has cramfs working and i'll start testing
on my own

we'll probably have to keep support for lvm1,
both lvm1 and cramfs?

couldn't we mount tmpfs on /etc in the initrd
yes,
the only files i need in /etc are
/etc/mdadm.conf (but i can change mdassemble to use a config file
parameter, or copy the file in /etc after mounting)
and /etc/lvm/lvm.conf (for lvm2, but if we use lvm2 i can tell it not to
create the cache, so no need for mounting tmpfs over etc)

the real problem is:
how the hell do i know if i have devfs using nash?
i find this in mkdevices which is written in c,
should i write another c function for nash which does:

rc=open("/dev/.testwr", O_CREAT);
if (rc < 0) {
       mount("/dev", "/dev", "tmpfs", 0, 0);
       mknod("/dev/null", 1, 3);
       mknod(...);
} else {
       close(rc);
}
????
