Dutch,

You may want to think of a couple of things for yourself:

1)  Instead of using UMB on your dos line, change it to RAM

2)  You may want to look at doing a multi-boot type configuration to
give yourself flexiblity and that way you dont have to use your A: drive
to load anything into memory - do it all from your hard drive.  Have
found by doing that I can have various configs for booting, depending on
what I need to load and do.
