Boot Debian netinst CD to RAM?

It seems impossible to copy base packages from boot media to RAM to build an alternative APT repository for installation with current Debian Installer.But you might be able to eject the media after boot and continue installation using netboot image which would download everything from the internet, not out of boot media.  You can remove it permanently once the netboot installer gets started.  You will be requested to configure networking at the very early step of the whole installation process.You can find netboot ISO as mini.iso in the folder like  http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ of the offcial repository.It's quite small in size compared to other installer images like netinst.
