Right! You'll need the initrd as long as you don't have any other way to
implement a root filesystem.

When you are able to write to flash, or earlier to use an NFS mounted
directory through USB ethernet, you will be able to keep it to a
minimum. At least you can't exceed the ramdisk size defined in kernel
configuration.

See

for details about initrds...

    Cheers,

    Michael.
