I am trying to bring up the 2.02 beta OS on my A2000.  If I boot up
on the stock workbench floppy, the system comes up (it doesn't know
about the hard disk).  I copied the hard disk driver (supplied by
GVP with it's IMPACT A2000 SCSI Plus 8 controller board) into the
floppy's expansion directory.  Now when I boot up, I hear the hard 
disk make a short bit of access noise, then I get a "task held" 
requestor!  Any ideas?  The startup-sequence does a "binddrivers"
call.  Do I need a different version of the scsi GVP driver??
I am using ZKICK to install the kickstart...

System: A2000, 1.2 ROMS, 5 Meg RAM, GVP controller, Rodime 205 Meg
        hard disk, Developer PreRelease 9/17/90 2.02 (36.77).

BTW, the system works just fine with 1.3...

Please EMAIL any suggestions and/or comments.  Thanks in advance.
