[Buildroot] Using Ram-Resident Filesystem

I am doing cross-development using Linux with a Lauterbach TRACE32
In-Circuit Debugger (ICD).
I would like to substitute my mtd0 to be a RAM address (normally FLASH),
where I store my SQUASHFS filesystem. In other words, I want my
environment/filesystem to be as close to what will be used when the target
runs in FLASH without the ICD.
Question:
How can I easily fake-out Linux to use the RAM-resident read-only filesystem
instead of it being FLASH-resident? As far as the kernel is concerned, the
only difference should be where it reads the filesystem.
Can the above be done easily? I would rather not use a RAM-Disk or network
filesystem.
Best Regards,
Jerry
