Subject: 2.4.20 (ramdisk device naming at boot time(/dev/ramdisk/<n>) vs.
 after devfs is mounted(/dev/rd/<n>))

In the 2.4.20 kernel, when using DEVFS the ramdisk naming is 
inconsistent. /dev/ramdisk/0 works for the kernel parameter initrd=
while /dev/rd/0 works in fstab.
For clarity: before DEVFS loads it must be referenced as /dev/ramdisk/0, 
yet DEVFS registers /dev/rd/<n>
