Searching for hds, in dos? That doesn't happen
in the autoexec.bat or config.sys, unless it
is some strange hd. It happens inside the dos
boot programs io.sys or msdos.sys. Loading RAM
drives is a different story. To load a RAM drive in
DOS it needs to be loaded in the config.sys file,
something like this:

DEVICE=path\to\RAMDRIVE.SYS size sector entries [/E|/A]

HTH,
Brian
