I just now verified that the runinram option "works" with my latest
HEAD+nessus build. Earlier, a box with 64M kernel panic'd, but my laptop
(with 512M) boots in ram, and frees the CD tray just fine.

I have some issues on this boot-to-ram image, but I don't know yet if
they're related to the tmpfs or not (like not being able to ssh into the
system when I've set root password and restarted ssh).  I would like to
see if I could burn CDs now that my CDRW drive is free, if only I could
mount my xfs partitions to access my iso. :)

What I can say is that with the "rir/runinram/toram" option, I can log
in, start X, configure the net, and play around.  More exploration is
warranted though;  feel free to play along at home.

Ack!..Michigan is choking. At least the Hawkeyes won decisively earlier
today.
