- You have to run System 7 to make use of the RAM Disk as a start-up
- device. If you are running System 7, turn on RAM disk from the memory
- control panel, specifying at least 2mb for the disk size. After the
- RAM Disk is "formatted/initialized", copy your system folder to it.
- Now open the startup disk control panel, and select the RAM Disk as
- the startup device. Restart your mac. The RAM Disk contents will
- survive warm restarts, but not cold restarts.
