The toram option confuses things.
In a normal boot from pendrive, you can copy extensions to the writeable /cdrom as it, the pendrive (sda1), is mounted as /cdrom and is writebale as root. Extensions copied this way will auto load at boot time.
You can, as root, also make an optional directory,e.g., /cdrom/optional and a menu will be made for these optionally available extensions, i.e., not autoloaded but on the mydsl menu.
Using toram option, the pendrive is no longer mounted as /cdrom. You would have to manually mount /mnt/sda1 to be able to write to the pendrive. Which is now /mnt/sda1 and NOT /cdrom. It does not make much sense to make an optional directory on the pendrive for auto menu creation if the pendrive is booted toram as the pendrive becomes unmounted. You can still have the autoloaded extensions via a copy to /mnt/sda1
This interplay caused by using toram works the same as a mydsl.iso with /optional and booted to toram.

? in the boot options to load any extentions that are in there automatically at boot. Make sure you have enough RAM to hold them if you decide to do that.
