In brief:  When I power up my hard disk, and '040  NeXTcube, I get this
message just after the 'testing system' message is replaced by
'loading from hard disk':

   Exception #2 (0x8) 0x100bada

I get dropped into the rom monitor to see this. I can then type 'b' to 
re-start the bootprocess. When it lists all the SCSI devices in the
monitor window, I find that I get the following linefour times: 

   generic SCSI device as sg# at sc0 target 7 lun 7

(where # increments from 0 to 3)

QUESTIONS:
  What is this exceptin #2?  Whatcan I do to get around it?
  Is it normal, with NS3.0 to have the cpu, at scsiID 7 showing up on
    four generic scsi devices like that???

MORE DETAILS:
  These do not occurrwhen I boot with a disk freshly installed with 2.1.
  Initially, I built the disk with 2.1 and then upgraded to 3.0.  Thie
  above problems appeared then.  So, I booted with CD-rom (using OD to
  get it to do so), and built the disk from scratch.  The problem
  persists.
  I've also done a   disk -b /dev/sd0a  with no apparent results.

I'd appreciate any insights anyone can provide!  Please email me or post
to the newsgroup!  If you email me, try any of these addresses:

THANKS!
