Either way could work, the ramdisk is a particularly good idea. Unless the installation is networked, there's not too much need for logfiles in the classic server or multiuser environment sort of sense. You could probably also just disable to logging daemon by removing it from the boot scripts using rc-update (on Gentoo at least, or with another distro-specific equivalent). I imagine that logging would simply just fail quietly if the partition were read-only... I mean, what would log the fact that the logs weren't logging? ;-)
