#A3000 help
5 messages in this thread
I need help with an A3000 that won't boot properly.
A grey screen with the generic blue border pops up with an error message:
missing ELSE or ENDIF
1>_
The machine runs WB 2.1, Kickstart 37.175. The HD boot partition has been
analyzed by Quarterback Tools Deluxe, which deemed the drive usable. The
machine boots fine from a floppy, but for some reason will not boot off
its normal HD boot partition.
The startup-sequence and user-startup files have been reviewed and nothing
appears to be out of place, though the error message states otherwise. At
the prompt, I tried re-running the startup-sequence, and got an error
stating I couldn't re-run IPREFS, which makes me think the error is
occuring late in the startup-sequence or else in user-startup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What I would do if I were you is to add several descriptive command lines
like `say "Making assings"' to the start-up sequence and see how far it
gets then you could track it down to the command that is giving you the
problem.
You can boot up by pressing CTRL-D as soon as it starts to boot in order
to stop it from continuing, if you need to.

Thanks, Anthony.

Add the following line as the first command in the startup-sequence:
echo on
When you've found your problem, put a semi-colon in front of that line so
that you can easily use it again should the need arise.

Thanks, Dale.
Forgot about the echo command. I'll give it a try.
