Phillip, welcome back! I was looking at some of your code a while back (RAM Disk Driver) and was
wondering if we should add support to it to be a general purpose RAM driver while keeping suppport
for loading from bochs images as it does now.

Thanks
Steven

What do you mean a general purpose ram driver?

Are you talking about being able to create usable ram disks at runtime 
and use them for general file storage instead of holding the system 
volume?  I don't really see any use for ram disks other than holding the 
system volume so the media used to boot the system can be removed.

Casper and I want one to improve build times, by putting certain 
temporary files there.
