I do almost the same thing, except I set /ram5 a little larger and hold
down the option key while dragging the icon. That gives me room for
some desk accessories. Once the boot slot is set to the RAM disk, you
can either do a three-key reboot (not recommended) or use the Finder's
quit. The Finder's quit used to give me trouble, but I think it was
a flaky DA.
