You cannot do so. The basic reason is Ram acts as a temporary storage device to store your operating system and other essentials. Where as hard disk is slower and cannot be used for same to process.

Why do computer need bios?
basic input output system BIOS needed for a computer to find the input and output devices which are connected to it... such as ram keyboard mouse speaker system monitor etc etc... the bios serves as instruction on what to do after the processor is turned on.

What hold the instructions the computer needs to start up?
The first place would be the ROM BIOS. Then the BIOS checks your storage devices and tries to load the boot area from the first available one it finds, and the boot sector then starts the operating system.
Is bios or rom are same?
BIOS is software. It tells system software how to communicate with installed hardware. ROM is hardware. It stores a copy of the BIOS, and automatically loads its contents into RAM (the BIOS) when power is first applied to the system. Thus, while the two are related, they are not the same.
What will happen if you put too much ram in your computer?

How do you check if RAM is corrupted?
The most thorough way of testing your RAM would be using a boot-up memory test (unless your computer has a built-in RAM test in its BIOS, which can be accessed by pushing F1 or F2 when the computer first turns on). Here's a link to an iso image you can burn to a CD. After burning it, you would boot the computer from the CD. If it doesn't boot from the CD, you might need to change your boot order from the bios. Set the CD drive as the primary boot location and if it still isn't booting from the CD, you may not have burned it correctly. http://www.memtest86.com/download.HTML

What type memory is used by bios and devices drivers?
BIOS and drivers use RAM (random access memory) however, in different forms. The BIOS is essentially a small chip of RAM that houses the code for running the operating system and the hardware. This hardware is controlled by the device drivers which run on the operating system which uses separate RAM which has a far greater capacity than the BIOS. this RAM is also shared by the operating system and is usually found in sticks that plug into the motherboard. the BIOS can operate without RAM but not the other way around
