Quick background:  After sticking with my trusty old duo280c for a long
time, I'm ready to commit to a Lombard.  These come pre-loaded with system
8.6, and apparently you can't boot from a RAM disk on 8.6.  Is this true?

I'm used to running a minimal system 7.6 on a small RAM disk and booting
from this when I program.  Not only does this make restarts much quicker;
it also means that I don't have to reinstall the system resource file if I
inadvertenty write to the wrong resource file and trash the system.
(Luckily this only happened once).  No RAM booting would be a major
compromise.

TIA.
