OK, using the mc add-on for BL3, I've just put mcserv on 
ramdisk BL1 and mc on ramdisk BL3, and they work together 
as expected.  Here is what I did:

___________BL3____________    ____________BL1______________  
insmod network card           insmod network card
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1     ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
ping                          route add basicnet
delete files to make room     delete files to make room
pkg mc.tgz                    zcat mc.tgz | tar -xvf - -C /
mc                            mcserv -p 9876
F9...R...N                    -----------------------------
root@lois:9876
ENTER
--------------------------    

The BL1 installation has route add because the BL1 does not do
that automatically (unlike the B3 kernel).  The BL1 installation
has the zcat line instead of pkg because the ramdisk version of
BL1 does not have the pkg script.  rpc.portmap is not required
because the port number (9876) is specified on both systems --
that parameter can be removed if rpc.portmap is run on the 
system running mcserv.

Cheers,
