Рамдиск был в канонических юниксах в разном виде еще задолго до ДОСа. Откуда, по-твоему, ДОС позаимствовал половину функционала?Цитирую:

NOTES
The abilities of ramdiskadm and the privilege level of the
person who uses the utility are controlled by the permis-
sions of /dev/ramdiskctl. Read access allows query opera-
tions, for example, listing device information. Write access
is required to do any state-changing operations, for exam-
ple, creating or deleting ramdisks.
As shipped, /dev/ramdiskctl is owned by root, in group sys,
and mode 0644, so all users can do query operations but only
root can perform state-changing operations. An administrator
can give write access to non-privileged users, allowing them
to add or delete ramdisks. However, granting such ability
entails considerable risk; such privileges should be given
only to a trusted group.

А вообще этот функционал в Солярисе я помню со времен она, как минимум с одна тысяча девятьсот восемьдесят третьего года.
