Yes, you can play around with src/distrib/arm32/ramdisk.

You can then build a kernel with MINIROOTSIZE or MEMORY_DISK_SIZE defined.

With MINIROOTSIZE you use "mdsetimage" to copy your filesystem into the
kernel image.

With MEMORY_DISK_SIZE you will probably need to write some custom code to
copy the filesystem into RAM.
