When you use the "toram" option, everything is copied into RAM. In this case, the contents of /cdrom are no longer needed and so it is umounted.
If /cdrom is not mounted, you are copying files into an empty mount point.
You'll need to do one of the following to save your extensions...
1) Don't use toram. From my experience, running toram with frugal doesn't really make a lot of difference, unless you have a slow harddrive. There is a little difference, but is it worth using up that extra ram?
2) Mount the device containing KNOPPIX and then copy the files there.
3) Copy the files to hda1 and use the boot option "mydsl=hda1".
IMPORTANT!!!:
If hda1 is the partition containing KNOPPIX, then ignore those 3 suggestions, as you will encounter errors when combining the opt and home options without using toram. Instead, mount /dev/hda1 and copy the files there. In this case hda1 is the same thing as /cdrom with a non-toram setup.
