Just enabling rapid testing. This can boot off of a FAT formatted SD
card, over USB, over serial or over Ethernet without passing a
separate ramdisk. The ext2 required a separate download or special
formatting of the card and wasted memory if used as a ramdisk.
Nothing too special here, but it simplifies use as a recovery system,
validation system or bootloader.

I will keep it however you'd like. The important part is the kernel.
