By default you don't need to do nothing with ramdisk. Ramdisk will be loaded into memory as usual. By default you don't need to do nothing with ramdisk. Ramdisk will be loaded into memory as usual.
-To go around this problem you can boot with ''bootm FFF10000'' U-Boot parameter which will only load a kernel image. +To go around this problem you can boot with ''bootm FFF10000'' U-Boot parameter which will only load a kernel image. Also it may be convenient to [[howto:kernel_upload|replace]] the RAMDisk image at 0xFFC20000 by an empty U-Boot image, like [[http://www.netbsd.org/ports/sandpoint/dummy.img.gz|this]] one (do not forget to uncompress it with gunzip(1)).
