Actually, with a "bad" hack it is possible to do that. RDISK won't install  
as normal block device driver then anymore but install its drive into DOS  
itself (like when loaded as .COM) and reserve the required memory with a  
dummy character device driver (which contains a name with colon or  
something else so the reserved name doesn't conflict with the filesystem).
