I have a couple of programs that boot from floppy diskette, but
apparently do not contain MS-DOS files. It would certainly speed things
up during subsequent execution if I could boot MS-DOS, install my
ramdisk, transfer information from the program diskette to the ramdisk
and then do a "warm re-start" from the ramdisk as if it were drive A:.
Is such a thing possible?

Thanks,
