You *need* to have ram disks set up in your running kernel. On redhat
boxes this is enabled by default. If you are using and customising
tomsrtbt then you absolutely need it.
$ ls -l /dev/ram2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 2 May 6 1998 /dev/ram2
If there is a problem, then...
$ cd /dev
$ ./MAKEDEV ram
Easy :)
