Autoboot from RAD:

First, thanks to all of you who posted replies to the
question:
  "Any idea why one could not reboot from a RAD: which
  has survived the reboot ?"

The final answer is:
  You MUST use the COMMODORE MOUNT command and NOT
  the ARP command.
  
Now, about BootPri:
  After extensive tests, I found out that the only
  significant value for BootPri in the RAD: mountlist
  entry is -129. For that value, the system will never
  reboot from RAD:. This is well explained in the
  1.3 documentation.

  For ANY other value, negative 0 or positive, or in
  the absence of the BOOTPRI line, the system will
  ALWAYS boot from RAD: if there is no disks in
  DF0: and ALWAYS boot from Disk if there is a 
  bootable disk in DF0:.
  The machine is a 2000B with rev 6.0 mother board.
