Over the weekend I was trying to get 2 recoverable ram disks working on
my amiga.  One was a small rebootable RAD: and the other was to be a
floppy-sized ram disk called RF0: to use with df0: and diskcopy.
Anyway, here's what I did:

1. copy devs:ramdrive.device to devs:ramdriv1.device, and copy RemRAD to
RemRF0.

2. edit devs:ramdriv1.device and RemRF0 to change all references to
ramdrive.device to ramdriv1.device and RAMB0 to RAMB1.

3. edit the mountlist to add an entry for RF0: which I copied from the
RAD entry, changing the device from ramdrive.device to ramdriv1.device,
and the HighCyl value.  (do I need to change the Unit value?)

I tried to mount this new ramdisk (either after reboot or powerup) and
here's what happened:

The mount commmand appears to work--no errors, at least, and if I repeat
the mount RF0: command the amiga replies that RF0 is already mounted.
Typing ASSIGN LIST shows RF0 as one of my devices.  However, typing info
does not show up RF0 and I can neither cd or ls RF0:.  Have I forgotten
something/done something wrong?

Thanks in advance!
