I have received several replies which explained the problem. I thought it was
worth posting a summary of what I have learned in the hope that others will
not waste as much time on this as I did.

	1. The ARP and the AmigaDos mount commands have some incompatibilities.
	   One is that the default bootpri value in ARP is not to boot.
	   Therefore, if one adds 'Bootpri = 0' to the rad: entry in mountlist,
	   rad: will boot under ARP just like it does by default under AmigaDos

	2. There are several other reported problems with the ARP mount 
	   command, so one should consider going back to the AmidgaDos mount
	   anyway, if any problems appear.

	3. The Amigados 1.3.2 version of mount is to be preferred over the 1.3
	   version.

Thanks to Greg Harp, Timo Rossi, Dan Riley, and Steven Ayscue for help.
