1: This is a kernel config question, not one of Fedora Legacy
support per se. for a clue:
grep RAM /usr/src/linux-x.y.mumble/.config
2: RAMDisks, by definition, are in RAM, not on a hard drive;
a 12GB RAM disk would consume 12GB of RAM space.
I doubt you have 12GB of physical RAM. Virtual RAM (which
is on the hard drive, and thus not much faster than a simple
file on the hard drive) could be used, if you have 12GB of free
phys+swap Memory Space.
3: You can make a fake RAM space of any size using a loopback
device.
Before going farther, can you explain why you need a 12GB RAMdisk?
