Is there a way to make the linux system, that comes with the Microzed board, boot with a rootfs on the SD card, rather than use a ramdisk?
What would be needed to accomplish this?

Yes, you can do this and in fact the Ubuntu reference design for the Zynq Mini-ITX and Zedboard has instrucitons on how to accomplish it. Basically you need to partition the SD card so that a second partition is ext4, and you load the rootfs to that.
The instructions in the Ubuntu tutorial should be transferable to MicroZed no problem.

Hello Ron,
Could you please add the link to the Ubuntu reference design you are referring? I too would like to use my SD card for rootfs.
Thanks!
