Ram Disk.

Questions... nothing but questions.

Trying to set up a Ram Disk while booting from Floppy.., the same way that Workbench makes one available. Not RAD: i am talking about RAM:

Specifically, which Libs: and devs: files ?

Cheers.

Which Kickstart?
I know 3.0+ does automatically create RAM: before executing startup-sequence (no libs or devs required), and Im pretty sure 2.0 does too.

@whiteb: you need Ram-Handler. For older Kickstarts (1.3 and below) Ram-Handler needs to be in L:, for newer Kickstarts (2.0 and higher) it's already in ROM and not needed as a file.

With thanks to codetapper, on IRC he helped me through it, it was the *PC* text editor i was using that was adding not needed characters to the startup-sequence.

All working fine now.
