I have right now installed /e/ successfully.(Well it booted up OK but i have not used it yet.)
I followed https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP3/install , and installed the six .img files per instructions:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
But there are four more .img files packed up from IMG-e-0.11-p-2020082870302-dev-FP3.zip :
dtbo-pre.img
ramdisk.img
ramdisk-recovery.img
userdata.img
What are they used for?

In short from a user perspective: nothing
There’s one remark in the /e/ forum
No, these files apparently just aren’t being used for the installation. It could be those files are being automatically built in the OS build process but then not needed for the installation, but I can just speculate here, I have no real insight.
And as someone else stated there I assume those files are generated during the build process as intermediate files (my guess is that e.g. the ramdisk.img gets integrated into the boot.img).
