2.4.20 (ramdisk device naming at boot time(/dev/ramdisk/<n>) vs.

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>
