 I cannot find my Enhancer manual anywhere so I cannot give you specifics but
look into the file DEVS:MountList and see what the BootPri for RAD: equals. If
this is set to 0 or -128 (I cannot remember which) it will not be bootable.
This might be why your RAD: will not re-boot the machine. It is similar to an
INSTALL on a floppy disk. You don't INSTALL a disk and it will not autoboot.
