guys i need some help. i have the 2.4.20-pre11 kernel, the nubus patch for that kernel version, and a prebuilt vmlinux 2.4.20-pre11 nubus kernel image, and a ramdisk that is the gentoo install. i need to combine the kernel and the ramdisk into one file to be able to boot the install via the nubus kernel. i can't quite figure out how to do this. i've found the "objcopy" command, and this article... which explains something similar i think. If anyone has any idea how this could be accomplished, or some links for me to read up on, plz send them to me. this is an interesting issue.

not even a small taker for this question?? maybe just to say "damn man, you don't know wtf you're talking about"?

well.. i guess that gentoo nubus ppc install cd will be permanently put on hold.

Man i hope we can get some kinda reply....plz?

Why do you need the ramdisk anyway?
