Have something I can't quite figure out.
Please don't send me to the HOWTO's, they don't quite cover this.

I wish to boot from compact flash and have one ramdisk for /usr
(for performance) and another for /var (dont want to log and spool to flash).
And I really don't want to change execution paths in a zillion places.

All of this has to be done in initrd/linuxrc because those directories are
critical as soon as init starts running.
I can create a usr.gz and var.gz and load them from linuxrc but I dont
know how to create multiple ramdisks.
I've done, in LILO, things like:
root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=40000 but that only gives me one ramdisk
and I assume I will need to mount /usr and /var separately.
Could I somehow create multiple ramdisks in linuxrc?
Don't even know if you can have more than one ramdisk.
Help?  Thanx.
