Hi,
I was successfully able to create a root-memory disk using the
INSTALL config file.  However I ran into problems when I tried to
increase the value of MINIROOTSIZE in 
options         MINIROOTSIZE=3074       # size of memory disk, in blocks

I tried values of 8000 and 16000 and the kernel would keep
rebooting just after it finished printing out the initial numbers
on kernel size etc.  Are there some other parameters that I should
change?

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
