The special booting routine on A3000's that boot kickstart from disk works something like this: machine powers up… looks for kickstart in rom, if not found, it allocates a block of FAST ram and protects it… then looks for Kickstart on disk, and loads it in to that block and reboots the machine (sending a message to the screnn saying something like: rebooting wb 2.x. My A3000 has 2 meg of chip & 4 meg of fast ram… (no 2.0 rom)… after booting up, my system shows something like 1.9 meg Chip ram & 3 meg fast ram available… I'll do an avail command & copy it in to the next message so that you can see what I mean… – Whapp!ng from the North Coast Michael
