You don't need the ramdisk if you are booting from a binary image, you only
need it if you are attempting to build your own from the source tarball
that was posted. The confusion exists in that the bootloader currently
reports:

	Loading PA-RISC/Linux Kernel...
	No ramdisks available.

And then continues along with the boot process.

Support for ramdisks was built into the bootloader, which is likely the
prefered method, however, it has never been used. It is safe to ignore this
for now.
