- Try setting all your harddisks to inhibit sync handshake at startup. Your
- syquest already managed to come "magically" inhibited, because #4 has
- set the inhibit flag by default. Now, inhibit #5 and #6 too. You do
- this by using binpatch, which you can get from ftp.eunet.ch (also
- get the binpatch.README file, please). Then, do
-
- binpatch -s _inhibit_sync vmunix
-
- note the address which is printed (ADDR), then calculate NADDR=ADDR+5,
- and do
-
- binpatch -b -a NADDR -r 1 vmunix
-
- and increment NADDR once (for unit 6), and repeat the above command.

- Grr.. I hoped this bug was fixed in the meantime.. if it's not, somebody
- tell me please what to do to reboot a 16M machine safely.. (I *do* use
- the official Commodore reboot sequence..).
