using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
as the syntax of "bootm" command.
+Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
+kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
+address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
+format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
