What I do is start my startup-sequence by installing ConMan and
starting an AShell and killing the original CLI, but then the AShell
mounts RAD:, and attempts to "relabel rad: vd0"...  if it gets an
error on either the mount or relabel, it runs RemRAD, prints an error,
and does a "relabel ram: vd0" instead.  Subsequent references are all
to vd0:, copying files and assigning devices, etc.  This way, it will
use RAD: if it can, (and won't copy files it doesn't need to) and fall
back on RAM: if RAD: fails.  I no longer use the ASDG vdisk, but I was
used to "VD0:" so I used it for the volume label of the main ramdisk.
A "relabel ram: ram" precedes the "mount rad:" so if RAD: works, RAM:
will have volume label ram:.

*I* like it.  :-)
