I'm assuming what you're trying to say is that you want your new cool 
icon to appear as the Ram Disk icon every time you boot up. The problem 
is that the icon has to be stored in RAM: as the file disk.info, and of 
course, it goes away every time you reboot.

Solution:

Save your cool icon somewhere (I keep mine in my Icons directory with all 
the other cool ones). Now add the following lines to your 
startup-sequence:

copy >nil: icons:your.cool.icon ram:
rename >nil: ram:your.cool.icon ram:disk.info

Of course, icons: should be replaced with the name of your directory with 
the cool icon, and your.cool.icon with the name of your icon. You 
shouldn't name it disk.info, though, or it won't show up when you look at 
the directory from workbench.

Do this at a point in the startup-sequence BEFORE the workbench screen 
opens, and the >nil: is important!
