Dean, too summarize. I have tried the following: 1. Booting normally using addmem (the one supplied on Insider disk) Mounting RAD: and putting the required startup files on RAD: Remove disk from df0: and warm boot. The machine automatically defaults to request to insert WB disk. 2. Same procedure as above, but no addmem. Same results as before. 3. Same procedures as above two, but omit using FastMemFirst. Also same results as before. 4. Same procedures but cold boot with KS 1.3 on disk instead of using ROM, autoboot from RAD: works as it's supposed. That's basically what I have experienced, Dean. I had relayed this before on the Novi board and the response was that you all had NOT tested this with the ROMs and no one else had reported the problem. It's not really a big deal, but if it worked that would be nice. I normally move quickly to the hard drive for the completion of my startup, so I don't do much from the floppy. Again I am using the older KwikStart with the 4 ROMs and an Insider and Cltd Amega outboard memory and Cltd Host/Controller. The addmem does not seem to be contributing to the problem, because the autoboot fails immediately. That is once you warm boot the RAD: device has completely disappeared. In a word, it doesn't hang around on warm boots whether addmem has been used or not. This is true even if you don't try autobooting. The problem is that the RAD: device doesn't remain in memory at the moment you warm boot.
