I don't know how large you can manage to make RAD:, but whenever you
change the size of RAD: while an old one exists (whether mounted yet
or not) you will get the "Not a DOS disk" error.  You can either do a
RemRAD and reboot, and it will recreate it from scratch, or you can
simply mount the new sized one and format it.  (It's fun to watch RAD:
format...  it FLIES.)
