FreeWRT doesn't use an initrd (yet). The rb netboot images are (as the target name already says) for use with nfs. So you will have to setup some nfs-share for the rootfs, a tftpd to deliver the kernel and a dhcpd to put all things together and provide the booting routerboard firmware (and later the kernel) with the essential information. > OpenWRT has a ramdisk option on the target selection. > I understand that there is a different approach for putting > rootfs on the kernel between 2.6 & 2.4 kernels. Well, you can still use initrd with kernel 2.6, but the preferred method is to use initramfs. For documentation on the differences between the two, read Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt of any 2.6 kernel sources.
