RamDisk Plus 2.0 makes this simpler for you.  Just specify when running RamDisk
Plus the first time that you wish to have it run MultiFinder after it's built
the ram disk (this is done through a dialog box).  That's all there is to it.
There are also other neat options one can set, like having it run a specific
program (under Uni- or MultiFinder) upon exiting, switching control to the
ram disk if there's a system on it, etc.
