Well, since it's a holiday weekend and there are only 10E4 students around
to answer this for you instead of the usual 10E7, I'll give it a twist and
hope to be first, and hope further that everyone else reads before posting.
Here we go.  Ref. page 2-26, Commodore AMIGA Enhancer Software manual, ver
1.3 AMIGADOS...


...
SETPATCH R
...
"The R option is used to protect the recoverable ramdrive device on
systems with 1 megabyte of CHIP RAM.  This is necessary since Version
1.3 Kickstart is designed to work with 512K of CHIP RAM.

See Also:  Chapter 5, Changing Your Startup Sequences"
...
My Startup-Sequence has the line:
  c:SetPatch >NIL: r ;patch system function
and that does keep my RAD: boogying.

So I suppose it's RTFM time.  What AmigaDOS needs more than a good RTFM
process is a better Unix XREF process...
