[comp.sys.atari.st] Mark Williams C Ram Disk

jdn@homxc.UUCP (J.NAGY) (10/27/87)

Users of MWC version 2.0 may have experienced difficulty
configuring a bootable ram disk.  Following the directions 
in the documentation addendum, yields a ram disk "coldstrt.prg"
which is placed in A:\AUTO.  Unfortunately, this program fails
to execute upon coldboot.

I spoke with Dan Glasser, the author of rdy, about this and he
provided me with the following fix:

	Line 670:	p->d_h.g_ssize[GO_DATA] = n;

should be changed to

			D.d_h.g_ssize[GO_DATA] = n;

After compiling the source, I was able to create a bootable
ram disk which works as advertised.
