Bob; The warm reboot makes no difference, so it can't be related to disk coming up to speed. This disk has not been set up to autoboot before, because the Kickstart was version 1.2 and autoboot wasn't supported. Prior to attempting the autoboot, the autoboot (1.3) jumper was put in place. There is a three- prong jumper not described in the documentation, with position a (reset, normal) and postion b. He's tried it both ways. Two jumpers have to do with power supply, which would appear not to be a problem. Other jumpers have to do with expansion RAM. After insertion of the new ROM chip, the dataflyer was re-formatted using the dataflyer installation software. We don't know, but assume that means the 1.3 fastfilesystem. Could you please post the content of your mountlist entry for your boot partition? Does there have to be a separate mountlist entry in DOS drivers or elsewhere under 2.0? Or in the expansion drawer? Does ANYTHING have to be in the expansion drawer?
