Unfortunately I don't think this will be possible - according to the 
datasheet this SRAM chip is only 256K x 16 bit, or 128Kbyte - that's not 
enough to run any uClinux system, microblsze or otherwise :(

Realistically, you need at least 1 Mb, to just bring up the kernel and a 
simple shell.

If you can interface to a larger SRAM part, then first of all I 
recommend you start by reading the FAQ, and the archives of this mailing 
list.  The discussion about "How do I port Microblaze uClinux to my 
board" has been repeated many times!  Both the FAQ and the mailing list 
archive are linked from
