Since installing OS35 my Amiga decides to reboot 3-4 seconds after a cold
boot. I switch on and get the usual sounds, then a few seconds later the
computer resets and boots as normal. This does not happen from a soft
reset. I have taken my accelerator, external drives, CD ROM etc out and I
still get the same response.

Notice the distinction between "switch on" and "soft reset". I can
understand the mistake though.
