   What you would do on the Miggy (taken in account the usage of a HD disk)   
   would be to have the disk boot, expand an archive to RAM: or RAD: (after   
   mounting it) setup the appropriate assigns (s: t: libs: devs: c: ...)   
   and then issue LoadWB, or just leave the system assigns on the disk &   
   expand just the app(s) to RAM:, but that would consume to much space i   
   think.
