Welcome to rs-dos! This file lives on the FAT32 data disk (the one mounted at /disk). The kernel mounts the first valid FAT32 volume it finds — create or re-seed this image with: make disk # create if missing (default /tmp/disk.img) make disk-fresh # re-format + re-seed from seed/ Everything written from the shell survives reboots: it's a real disk, not RAM.
