It should be Flash Rom?
That's very interesting. Can you let me know how to build such small kernel and initrd?

No, I have a 1 Mbyte flash on the board. I put linuxbios in the top 64K, and a kernel and initrd in the bottom (1MB-64K). The kernel and initrd are munged together with mkelfimage. Voila ... kernel boots in seconds.
