   No. This is a different piece. Loading the compressed image from
   CDROM to RAM.

   Yes.

   Should be yes.

  If you want to do that you are better off using a different method. Create
  a ramdisk using ramdiskadm and boot a VM off that.

  This work essentially gives a slow bootup (5+mins) but blinding fast
  execution and very fast installation after being booted - since everything
  is running off RAM.
