It appears that when one declares a memory based disk and then tries to
mount it using the msdos file system, that the mounting expects to see a
formatted DOS volume with an appropriate boot block... This makes sense
unless you are running a ramdisk as your first and only disk drive ( at
least for now ).  Is there a standard procedure for formating a MSDOS volume
created on a ramdisk ?  I didn't see an entry point for such in the MSDOS
vfs code.

Thanks
