Well, you do have to increase the size of RAD: in your mountlist to 79
cylinders. (by the way, specifying a RAM disk in cylinders gives me a weird
sensation, as if I was using some sort of victorian technology as my main
memory)

No. You just have to have a SFS autoboot device somewhere. With a hard disk you
can either set up an autobooting RAD: or a SFS partition on your hard drive.

One odd thing I've noticed, I can't autoboot my RAD: in my 1000. It's obvious
why, though. No mystery... you need autoconfig RAM to do it.
