    Just a note for those who are uncomfortable with the device named 
"WB_2.x" (partition were the 2.0 system is installed).

    You should not change this name, since the A3000 won't be able to
find the WB_2.x:devs/kickstart file.

    One interesting 'bug':  when changing the boot device name, my system
 kickstart is magically upgraded to >>v36.16<< without giving the normal grey
screens.  Where does it come from?  No idea..  Normally those grey screens
inform you that kickstart is being loaded (version 36.141).  

    When booting in (bogus) v36.16 kickstart the system fail to load the
workbench, asking for an icon.library of version >= 36 (the A3000 is shipped
with v.34.2 of icon.library).

    A3000 - A logical step, but what a step.  Nice work guys!
    The users that never rest!
