Eric,
AmigaDOS has a slight quirk that you've run into. It will not display
an icon for a device that has not been accessed. If, for instance, you do
not access your RAM: device anywhere in your startup-sequence, or
startupII, you won't see the icon for it when the startup-sequence is
finished.
The simplest solution is to issue a command somewhere in your
startup-sequence that addresses your hard drive in some way. In my case
(on my A1000) I issued a 'cd dh0:' followed by my commands to assign c:,
devs:, etc to my hard disk. (Poof!) Instant icon. With my Ram: drive I
just relabel the beast and it appears on my Workbench (I happen to like
calling my Ram: drive RD0 😉
I hope this helps.
