I had the same problem when I was trying out my lucas board, because I
couldn't use my StarboardII with it.  If you only have chip memory, the
BuffMemType has to be changed to "3" (to make VD0: use chip ram).  There
is no error message when VD0: fails to mount, so the only thing you get
is a "cannot find" message.  Mounting also fails without a peep if the
specified size is too big.  Hope this helps.  I don't have RRamDisk, so
I can't help you with that, but the problem is probably similar.
