Thanks, it is a good point to me.
I am now porting my kernel and ramdisk.gz to the RAM through Angel.
Size of zImage = 700K
Size of ramdisk.gz = 1024K
What I am doing now is insert a command line option as
"root=/dev/ram ramdisk_start=700 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0"
And in Angel option file
image "zImage"
base 0x8000
entry 0x8000
otherfile "ramdisk.gz"
otherbase 0xb7000
exec "/usr/bin/minicom"
where 0xb7000 = 0x8000 + 1024*700
Is this method okay? But still I cannot mount the root filesystem .... Is something I
missed?
Many thanks!!

How can I find the physical address of /dev/ram0 , /dev/ram1, /dev/ram2
that my board actually points to? I am using clps7500.
You can't. It doesn't work like that. Ramdisks are part of the pagethat my board actually points to? I am using clps7500.
