2.4.20 (ramdisk device naming at boot time(/dev/ramdisk/<n>) vs. after devfs is mounted(/dev/rd/<n>))
In the 2.4.20 kernel, when using DEVFS the ramdisk naming is inconsistent. /dev/ramdisk/0 works for the kernel parameter initrd= while /dev/rd/0 works in fstab.
For clarity: before DEVFS loads it must be referenced as /dev/ramdisk/0, yet DEVFS registers /dev/rd/<n>

devfsd.conf has some stuff in it about making symlinks. Maybe this would work for you. It is worth a look.
