- Last night, I decided to reinstall the system software in my
- Softkicked A3000 (running WB 2.04 with 2meg chip RAM and 4 meg
- fast RAM). As far as I could tell, everything went fine with
- the installation. However, when I rebooted, the machine guru-ed
- (8000 0004) before the startup sequence completed.
-
- After much investigations, it appears that said crash can be
- invoked by any access to the ram: disk. This also occurs when
- booting in 1.3 mode.
-
- After removing all references to ram: from my startup sequence,
- I can now boot my machine (in fact, I'm writing this using terminus
- on it right now).
-
- Can anyone venture a guess as to why accessign RAM: would crash
- my machine when everything else is apparently OK?
-
- Thanks in advance...
- -Dave
