Hi,
I'm trying to use an embedded cpio archieve (initramfs) to boot my
embedded board, and I'm curious is there a way to let initramfs be the
final root filesystem for my kernel?
Thanks,
Rajat

Yes, I have done this myself when booting from a CD. I load the kernel
and the initramfs into memory and then boot. Here is my configured
bootline to do it:
kernel linux
append ramdisk_size=64000 initrd=base_fs init=/sbin/init root=/dev/ram0 rw
