For the RAM disk to be bootable, you need to do a whole-disk copy of a
same-size bootable diskette to the RAM disk. Or, you can initialize* the RAM
disk before you copy files to it or do an install.
*Note: To initialize the RAM disk, click on the RAM disk icon to select it.
Then, click on "Disk" on the menu bar and select "Initialize". Follow the
prompts to init the disk.
Finally, in the IIgs Control Panel, go to Slots and set Startup Slot to
"RAM Disk".
