Scott Settlemier mentioned that his drive (floppy a:, right?) keeps
spinning after boot up.

I have a vague memory that someone mentioned that this was a bug in TOS 
(that happens when autobooting from HD) and that it was fixed in TOS v1.4.

The way that I get around this problem is to access the drive in my
profile.  So that when msh comes up the drive is read and stops spinning
after the read.  I just do a "ls a:\" at the end of my profile.

I know that this is pretty Kludgy, is there another fix/workaround?
