Both people that said KickStart doesn't clear all of RAM were running
ASDG's VD0 software on ASDG's RAM hardware.  The ASDG memory board has
a write-protect circuit that prevents KickStart from destroying the
VD0 ram disk.  If you use the recoverable RAM disk software on a non-ASDG
memory board, there is nothing to prevent KickStart from clearing VD0.
