You don't, not with the stock RAM disk.  First, the RAM disk is dynamically sizing - it will take as much as it needs, up to all available RAM...which would overwhelm a 880K floppy disk.  It is intended to be transient, although many floppy users would copy oft-used tools (mostly command-line) into the RAM disk during the boot sequence for more speed during use.

For static-sized RAM disks that may or may not actually load a preimage from floppy ;), try Aminet.

Can you provide more details on exactly what you're doing?  What tool are you using to decompress, how are you executing it, etc.

BTW, I mailed you back via e-mail, don't know if you received it.
