I haven't, but have heard others having somesmall success involving a kernel
patch that I can't seem to find.

While I suppose you could remount to rw, I'm not sure why you would need this
(as any changes would be lost anyways).

mount / -o remount,rw

The *entire* purpose of this compiled-in ramdisk (for me at least) is to run
cardmgr to detect PCMCIA devices (such as your CF card), then pivot_root to that
device.

I have pcmcia-cs, modutils, and busybox compiled against uClibc, so its close to
working nicely.
