It could be anything.

Stuff in a [COMMON] section in config.sys is processed regardless of the
configuration chosen at start-up, so it *should* have been loaded,
especially as a listing of the disks's directory shows that ramdrive.sys is
indeed there.

Without detailed logs (and you rarely get that with DOS/Windows) it's
impossible to tell.

Also please bear in mind that it's well over a year since I had Windows on
my machine, so this is all coming from (more or less random access) memory.
