What'd i do now? I've been doing some restructuring of my disks when i suddenly find I can no longer boot properly. Even my original Workbench floopy doesn't work, only a combo of floppy KS and the Install disk allowed me to get this far. From Power ON, I get a KS select screen with no HD options indicated. A softboot at that time will not only find KS on SC0: but also begin the startup script. It's going through standard CBM stuff and gets to copy >NIL: ENVARC: ram:env all quiet noreq assign ENV: ram:env and faults indicating it can't find ram:env Switching over to floppies, i get up and SC0 looks fine Currently I'm working with 2.03. I had similar problem yesterday with 2.01 and can't even get this far with copy of 2.04 i've got. Between 2.01 and now, I was up and working as long as i kept a floppy (non booting) in one of the drives (SC0: is on address 0 so timing is funny). I made mistake of booting w/o floppy installed and all this started again. machine is 3K little over a year old. Other SCSI disk/tape are not bootable. Anyone have any ideas and/or able to give me some info on ENVARC:? lGlamb
