I type file ramdisk.img and the Terminal display ramdisk.img: data,
I use cpio and get nothing extracted!

Now you can create the ramdisk using the mount command. The following example shows how to create a ramdisk using tmpfs on 2GB Ram/Swap, on the mount point /mnt/tmp. The -t (type) argument allows to specify the file system (in this case, tmpfs). The -o (options) argument is used to define the space for the ramdisk.
Recovery-ramdisk is used only to boot into recovery. Contains normal boot kernel and recovery-ramdisk ( BOARD_USES_RECOVERY_AS_BOOT := true ). Recovery-ramdisk is used to boot into both recovery and Android.
It's highly possible that ramdisk.img actually is a compressed file ramdisk.cpio.gz. To extract it use this commands:
cd /Path/To/Folder/With/ramdisk.cpio.gz/File
mkdir temp_directory && cd temp_directory
gunzip -c ../ramdisk.img | cpio -idm
