Edit the file /usr/src/linux/init/main.c and locate this segment:
#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
root_mountflags = real_root_mountflags;
----> mount_initrd=1;
I have added the row pointed with ---->.
This trick force the kernel to execute /linuxrc script before of mount
the real root filesystem. Any case, this patch is required only for
RAM muLinux. If you plan to use an UMSDOS/EXT2 muLinux, you don't need
them.
