Well, I think I found something. I am currently using a non-autobooting hard disk and the workbench disk in df0: had some sort of error. The FORMAT command had an error each time I tried to reformat the Hard disk. I also noticed that the FORMAT command allowed the ENTER to be echoed after the "Insert Disk . . ." message. Obviously, something went wrong on this boot disk. I guess I've learned that I should occationally switch to a new copy of my boot disk (assuming this error was due to natural wear on the old one). I can't see any other way of avoiding it. I'm still waiting for my autobooting upgrade (I'm using a Pacific Peripherals Overdrive). Thanks for the suggestions.
