I'm not familiar with "toram", but it's possible that it's not actually
a kernel parameter. Not everything that's passed on the kernel command
line is actually a kernel parameter; see dracut.cmdline(7) for a bunch
of examples.
Actual kernel parameters are implemented with various macros defined in
include/linux/moduleparam.h.
