Actually, it is to your advantage to continue to boot the Kickstart from the hard drive. While putting the kickstart in rom will eliminate the 3 second delay in booting and does give you back the extra 1/2 meg of ram, you loose a bit of performance and more importantly the ability to boot any newer versions of 2.x that will come to pass. The Roms that are in the 3000 are actually a version of an early 2.0 alpha that has some special boot code in it. With the final release, this ability is no longer there. John A.
