(Get the code!)
It sort of works to boot Intrepid's livecd with TORAM=yes, but you have to give it a kick with ALT+SYSRQ+E when it gets stuck after the message from the squashfs module.
The code for doing stuff if $TORAM is set (to non-zero length, IIRC) is there, but nothing sets $TORAM. So do it yourself from the kernel command line. /init inherits kernel params as env vars, and /scripts/casper inherits them too.
I have booted an i386 with 1.5GB of RAM from Intrepid alpha5 on a USB stick, with TORAM=yes + a sysrq kick, and it did work.
