I just received my 3.0 upgrade.  It was booting fine off the external hard
drive, but I took it back in because the place that did it for me didn't 
include NeXTCD and everything in it.  After he put that on, I took it home 
and tried to boot up and now it seems to hang at the point "Checking System 
Files".  It just sits there and I can't see any exchange (flashing light) 
with the external drive. I thought maybe it was just going to take a while 
but it stayed that way for over 10 minutes.

Does anyone know what happened?  Did something get overwritten on the hard
drive?  It still has 35MB left free, so I sort of doubt it.  Did the guy at
the store have to do something bizzare to get access to my drive?  The SCSI
address is set to 0 now so that's not the problem .......  I would go talk
to the store about it, but this is the 5th time I've been back there this
week to try to get this miserable computer working.

BTW, I have had the worst service imaginable in my purchase of a NeXT
Turbo Station.  It's almost to the point now that I wish I had gone with
a less powerful Mac or PC because all of the hassle I've had to go through
to get the most basic things set up ..... has anyone else out there 
experienced this sort of thing?  

Thank you for any help/comments.
