This is a known problem. It is a bad interaction between the loader and the hard disc controller chip. Fortunately it only happens after powering the machine on, not on reboot. It will reboot eventually, it just takes a long time. For the time being, leave a blank floppy in the drive. As for the manual, *I'm* not going to tell you not to buy it. I'm just going to point out that internal details of the unix pc are company confidential, available under non-disclosure only (and even that is not available to everybody). -- Jonathan Clark [NAC]!mtune!jhc My walk has become rather more silly lately.
