     I read somewhere in the System 6.0.1 release notes about a bug in
ROM 03 machines.  It involved not creating RAM disks on a machine with
8 MB.  It was fixed by the ram5 driver in system 6.0.1.  If you have a
RAM disk set up, and are booting from system 6.0.1, this is normal.
The system is forcing the ram disk to be created.
