Users of MWC version 2.0 may have experienced difficulty
configuring a bootable ram disk. Following the directions
in the documentation addendum, yields a ram disk "coldstrt.prg"
which is placed in A:\AUTO. Unfortunately, this program fails
to execute upon coldboot.
I spoke with Dan Glasser, the author of rdy, about this and he
provided me with the following fix:
Line 670: p->d_h.g_ssize[GO_DATA] = n;
should be changed to
D.d_h.g_ssize[GO_DATA] = n;
After compiling the source, I was able to create a bootable
ram disk which works as advertised.
