Hi all,

Suggestions on how to fix the following problem are welcomed.
Thanks.


System: upgraded 040 cube, 24 MB memory, internal MO disk,
        internal Seagate Elite 1.3GB hard drive, external
        DIT CubeFloppy 2.9 (SCSI port)

Problem: When the internal hard disk had 3.0 pre-release
         installed, it booted fine off the HD.  After I
         "downgraded" system software by re-building the
         HD with NS2.0 off the distribution MO disk, the
         machine does not boot anymore.

Sympton: This is what the ROM Monitor (2.1 (v59)) shows:

		Searching for CD-ROM drive...
		Exception #5 (0x14) at 0x100a570

Best regards,
