I installed from the testing netinstall.iso a while back. I used a command
like...
/install/vmlinuz initrd=/install/initrd.gz ramdisk=/dev/ram0
ramdisk_size=12000
I found that in the docs somewhere on the CD (I think it was on the CD), have
never used it before or since and I don't recall exactly the commands I used
so do find it in the docs before trying that command. Look for something
along the lines of using an initrd.
