Guys,
Sorry about the 512Kbytes questions, i'm interested with this matter... Anybody has an experience on how to use coreboot and RAMdisk ? my idea is coreboot is running for the first time creating ramdisk, alike with liveCD for linux then copy the kernel to ramdisk, i saw a system with 256Kbytes running X-server, i'm sure it's using RAMdisk...or maybe other method ?
coreboot--->creating ramdisk-->copy kernel to Ramdisk...
Thanks for the help

256 kbytes? Are you certain? Can you get a URL?
It is very unlikely it was running an x server and linux as well. 4 0 3406 3402 20 0 821264 145520 - Rs+ tty7 141:29 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
Rick, I think you need to do more homework before posting further questions.

Wow, 256k I would be very interested in this source as well. There must be some new kind of compression/decompression that we have never heard of that can squish several mb's down to several k's. This would be the best invention since sliced bread :-)

Ramdisk does not necessarily mean it is all running from flash. I just means the OS is copied to memory and executed from there. The OS could get copied to ram from any storage media(flash, hard drive, cd-rom, floppy, etc). Almost all embedded Linux OS's run in a ramdisk.
