Orror! A ramdisk-based system without ramdisks!

Usually you have to see /dev/ram1 mount in /usr, /dev/ram2 in /tmp,
etc. etc.

No. Addons are projected for ramdisk. I can only suppose you answered "n"
to FOUNDAMENTAL query about USR loading. This first addon (which reside
on the last part of first floppy) is mounted in /usr. The command mkfs.ext2
is in /usr/bin. Without this, you can't mount other addons.

Ok. I will add a check and addons will be skipped in this (very rare)
case.
