-The old "ramdisk=<ram_size>" has been changed to "ramdisk_size=<ram_size>" to
-make it clearer.  The original "ramdisk=<ram_size>" has been kept around for

 The new RAM disk also has the ability to load compressed RAM disk images,
 allowing one to squeeze more programs onto an average installation or
 rescue floppy disk.
