The install is more or less just like a pc. If you want to use a ramdisk you 
just need to compile initrd support into your kernel and build the actual 
ramdisk (or modify an existing one). If you aren't using a loopback fs then 
you don't need a ram disk - as long as you use builtin drivers for the things 
you need to mount the rootfs. Theres an ebuild for cromwell, you should be 
able to emerge it. It will build the .xbe. 

Thanks for the noticing the lack of archives; I've just emailed marc and gmane 
to subscribe the list there since its where all the other gentoo lists go.
