When I mentioned that the mount  and  first  reference  to  the recoverable
ram disk should be first in your  startup-sequence I  should have mentioned
that it's important. Why? The memory that your disk is sitting in has to be
kept away from AmigaDOS's  greedy little hands. The mount does not actually
*do* anything except set  up a relationship between the symbol vd0: and the
file asdg.vdisk.device.  The ram  disk is  actually restored  at the  first
reference to the device.
