This will be answered many times but the end result is that if you have
the 1.3 ROMS you can boot from RAD:. Nothing in drive zero ? No problem
poof you reboot from RAD:. Actually it is really quite strange when you
first see it. Anyway, to make a long story somewhat shorter, if you use
FFS on RAD: it won't boot from it because it can load FFS from disk, 
therefore you lose. But if you don't have 1.3 roms then you won't boot
from RAD: anyway so you might as well have it use FFS. Is that any clearer?
