I have built kernel with following options
options         MEMORY_DISK_HOOKS
options         MEMORY_DISK_IS_ROOT    =20
options         MEMORY_DISK_SERVER=3D1  =20
# 4M memory disk, in blocks
options         MEMORY_DISK_ROOT_SIZE=3D16384      # 8M memory disk, in =
blocks
options         MEMORY_RBFLAGS=3D0=20

The boot process stops after some address display and PC reboots. If I =
change
options     MEMORY_DISK_ROOT_SIZE=3D8192 4M
ram disk kernel boots OK. Secondary boot is filing on pread() system =
call.
