What I would like is to be able to boot from the USB flash drive, but then be able to remove it from the computer once the desktop has loaded.

It looks like you received two answers. What was wrong with the guide that your second answer linked to?

I believe that any TORAM parameter is not a boot-loader parameter. It doesn't tell the boot-loader to do anything special. What it does is to trigger a process after the OS is running. That process will copy from your source media to RAM, and then it will be safe to remove the device.

Each Linux distribution is going to have different support for this kind of scenario, and probably different instructions. There isn't a general answer, as far as I know.
