Question Mounting the filesystem from RAM

Hi,

I have a reserved 256kb of physical memory (using kernel command line mem=4m$64m), which contains squashfs binary image.

Now how can I mount the squashfs image from ram into root file system? Is it possible?

Thanks.

I got it working by using kernel module phram.ko.

Thanks.
