No, CALL SYSTEM boots from the actual drive (in DOS 1, at least). This is
pretty annoying if you go to DOS, type B:, go to BASIC and type _SYSTEM,
since MSXDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM might not be available on the disk in
drive B. I wouldn't know how to set the ramdisk to actual drive in basic,
though...
