No - what I said was more or less nonsense. I did
ln -s u:/tmp tmp
being in a FAT-dir. This works because the symlink gets resolved into something
like u:/f/tmp (->/f/tmp?), unlike u:/ram (->/u/ram).
The main reason is that /ram has no drive-letter as all other
directories have.
But converting /u/* into u:/* should fix it,
unless someone manages to have /u, i.e. u:/u in MiNT.
I tried with alias u: u:/ram but it doesn't boot.
