I ran it thus: rx fixrom kick3 "kick3" is the name of the grabkick file. The program did attach the 'extra' bytes from 2.04 to 3.0 "kick3", which resulted in both kickstart files being the same size, but when I renamed them so that 3.0 was devs/kickstart and did a coldboot…kablam! It resulted in a constant crash/reboot cycle. I once did get 3.0 working on my 3000, but my A4000's 3.0 had only SCSI code so I couldn't access the SCSI devices. I even tried a utility called keepres, which should keep the SCSI driver from 2.04 usable when you use a kickloader: The system just crashed when I used it. -Chris
