I'm having a strange problem with ASDG's recoverable RAM disk, VD0:.
I got it off a Fish disk (241?) and installed it, etc.  I had previously been
using RAD: with no problem, but wanted to check out VD0: because of its dynamic
sizing ability.  Anyway, what happens is this.  I've set up VD0: with a max
limit of 512K.  My startup-sequence mounts VD0: and checks for the existence of
a directory; if it isn't found it assumes that I'm cold booting and copies
about 200K worth of stuff into VD0:.  This works with no problem.  But, when I
do a warm boot, attempting to recover an already configured VD0:, the system
crashes after mounting it.  Anyone have any ideas?  I'm running an A500 with 3
Megs of RAM and 1.2 ROMs.

Thanks!
