This is what I did only mine is 512K.

1.	mknod  /dev/ram_meg b 31 178
2.	mkfs /dev/ram_meg 1024
3.	( create a mount point for the ramdisk  e.g.: /mnt )
4.	mount /dev/ram_meg /mnt
5.	copy the files  you want to access to /mnt ( or whatever you call your 
mount point)
6.	put /mnt into your PATH >>>>AHEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE<<<<

you must load the ramdisk every time you reboot but that's the way it goes!
