Kurt, FastmemFirst shouldn't be necessary with an A1000, I think. BTW how full is your vd0: when you attempt the warm-boot? I've noticed that if it's to 'full' it won't recover. Say you've got 1.6 meg set for the vd0: and you've got maybe 1.5 or so filled you may be depressed after the warm-boot 'cause it may not show back up! It's happened to me before that's why I don't fill it to the top. Also, I believe I was told not to use FastMemFirst if I use ASDG's RRD 'cause it'll screw it up too! Good Luck, Chris

I agree that FastMemFirst shouldn't be needed on a 1000, but it will work on a A2000 if it is the first command in the startup-sequence. Will ASDG's RRD handle memory from more than one memory board if they are not sequentially configured? Probably not. Thus for A2000s and A500s with the A501, to have a RRD of more than 512K (the size of the C00000H RAM), Fastmemfirst must be used to allow the RRD to reside on a 2Meg RAM board. -Greg

I'll check that out. Mine is pretty well filled up.
