This is true, the kernel cannot mount /dev/ram unless you have put a filesystem there
before.
So, the initrd.img.gz should do this work. If I remember well, when the kernel
uncompresses the initrd, it tries to execute a file named /linuxrc. If this program
(or script) copies a filesystem into /dev/ram, it should work.
If you don't do something similar, you won't have a filesystem in /dev/ram to mount,
as trevor sais.
