Editing a Ramdisk


cp ramdisk.img ramdisk.cpio.gz
gzip -d ramdisk.cpio.gz
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
cp -Rfp ../ramdisk.cpio .
cpio -i -F ramdisk.cpio
rm ramdisk.cpio
ls should show all the files in ramdisk. From here on add files as you like in ramdisk
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../ramdisk.img

If you want uncompressed ramdisk, remove gzip from last step,ie 
find . | cpio -o -H newc > ../ramdisk.img
