Jonathan When you say that you type loadwb and nothing happens … are you sure? You'll still have the CLI window, but the disk icons will have appeared underneath it (try resizing it and you should see). If you no longer want that CLI window, just type endcli and it will go away. If that doesn't work, then maybe something you have done in your startup has messed the system up and won't allow it to continue doing anything. If ever I am working on startup scripts, I always keep a copy of the originals on disk. So, I COPY s:startup-sequence s:SS and then edit away on the startup-sequence. If I come a cropper and want to go back, it's simply a matter of doing the reverse operation COPY s:SS s:startup-sequence and rebooting. If you are not too sure what you are doing, and are therefore finding errors in the startup, you could always try saving the bit of the sequence you are working on as a separate file and then try EXECUTEing it to see if you have any errors. Once it works, you then insert the same commands into your real startup-sequence. This doesn't always work, though, since you _may_ get errors … for instance, if you were to try MOUNTing a device that is already mounted, you'll get an error which is not due to your script.
