You can't. Solaris doesn't support ram disks.

It does support "tmpfs" which is a fileysystem mounted on virtual memory
(ie, RAM + swap), but there's no way to guarantee that your data in it
will stay in RAM.

What problem are you trying to solve? Ram disks generally aren't going to
be the answer anwyay...
