I agree with Kent completely.  I also relabel RAM:, but I relabel it
to simply "RAM".   However, the best world would be to simply drop the
second word "DISK" from its name in the first place.  First, most other
devices are only 3 letters (DF0:, DH0:, VD0:, etc) and RAM as its name 
would fit better. (I realize device names and volume names are different, but
they CAN be the same if we want them to, right?)
Second, 3 letters is easier and faster to type, especially when it
contains no spaces (hence, no quotes).

BTW- I have a hard time finding a spot in my startup-sequence to relabel RAM.
It seems if I do it too early in my SS, I get an error code.  I also must do it
a few commands ahead of my loadwb if I remember right.  I think it would give 
me validation errors or something.
