It's a fairly simple two step process (assuming your kernel already
supports it):
1) Make a filesystem on the ramdisk (i.e. mkfs.ext2 /dev/ramdisk).
2) Mount it (i.e. mount -t ext2 /dev/ramdisk /mnt/ram).
It is important that you make the filesystem at least the first time you
try to use it after a reboot, since the contents get dumped when you shut
down, and it won't have any valid filesystem until you make one.
