Current live-initramfs from Grml includes according checks and the boot process is being interrupted if not enough RAM is available. Would be nice to be able to just continue booting if not enough RAM is available but this requires more (re)work in upstream code which is WIP through live-initramfs 2.x.

Whereas 'grml toram' works fine and the user gets notified about the lack of RAM, 'grml toram=grml.squashfs' (AKA grml2ram) fails and the user is being dropped into the busybox shell after getting the "out of RAM" info. Looks like a funny race condition, we should investigate on that.
