ramdisk, not ramfs --

from plan9.ini(8):
        ramdiskX=size
        ramdiskX=size sectorsize
        ramdiskX=address size sectorsize
          This reserves physical memory as a ramdisk that will appear
          as sd(3) device sdZX.  When the address argument is omited
          or zero, then the ramdisk will be allocated from the top of
          physical memory.

so something like

ramdisk0=1G
cfs=#S/sdZ0

in plan9.ini. (someone correct me if any of this is wrong, I've since
reformatted my thumb drive I used to boot this way).
