  I recently installed a hard drive on my A1000 and got the same error message
when the startup-sequence on the slow file system partition tried to execute
the startup-sequence on the fsf partition.  I too could execute the offending
script "manually" with no problem.  After lots and lots of test cases &
reboots I found that if I deleted a big chunk of comments in the startup-seq
the problem went away.  Looks to me like there's a limit to how many ;comment
lines execute can handle.

Boolean orthogonal(char *my_opinions, char *employer_opinions)  {return(TRUE);}
