Hello, I have a problem with either my system or my SCSI hard drive and I  
was wondering if someone might be able to help me figure out which it is,  
and what I might be able to do to fix the problem. About 60% of the time  
after I boot, the HD light on the front of my computer will lock up, and  
the system will halt and beep, then display the words;

NO ROM BASIC
SYSTEM HALTED

Eventually, after booting back up a few times, it will boot up fine with  
no problems. It looks to me like I might have a serious problem here. Any  
ideas? Thanks in advance.

Scott
