Reboot win2k into dos on ramdisk?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have an application that won't run in a dos box under win2k.
The HD is the only bootable device.
I'd like to have win2k reboot into dos mode and run it
from a ramdisk.
Ghost and other disk imaging programs do this.
Ghost even gives the option to add files to the ramdisk
before the reboot. But it's cumbersome and there are licensing issues
if I want to do this on multiple machines.

Is there a tutorial on how to accomplish creating and rebooting to
a ramdisk file system?

Dual-boot would work for this task, but I have other ideas
that would require the ramdisk boot solution.
Thanks, mike
