The bad thing about GVP's way of allocating resources is that even when you boot from a floppy the autoboot roms mount the partitions. I originally had 5 20 Meg partitions that ate nearly 350K. From what I've seen the Hardframe does the same thing, so that's probably a problem with the autoboot addition to the autoconfigure procedure. What we need is a EEROM or battery backed CMOS ram to store our preferences in (Both Amiga preferences and hardware preferences) and have the autoconfigure/autoboot routines use them. -Greg
