Has anyone here been able to boot from a RAMDisk?  I
thought the contents of the Disk weren't reloaded
until after the boot process.  (In other words, you'd
have to finish booting before you even had a RAMDisk
to tell the computer to boot from.)

The RAMDisk image is stored on HD it doesn't get loaded into the RAMDisk until after an OS gets loaded from the HD (or other drive). So you have to boot off the HD to load the RAMDisk then reboot from the RAMDisk. The only way around this is to use a Flash card in a 2400.
