  14. Hi all,
  15.  
  16. Suggestions on how to fix the following problem are welcomed.
  17. Thanks.
  18.  
  19.  
  20. System: upgraded 040 cube, 24 MB memory, internal MO disk,
  21.         internal Seagate Elite 1.3GB hard drive, external
  22.         DIT CubeFloppy 2.9 (SCSI port)
  23.  
  24. Problem: When the internal hard disk had 3.0 pre-release
  25.          installed, it booted fine off the HD.  After I
  26.          "downgraded" system software by re-building the
  27.          HD with NS2.0 off the distribution MO disk, the
  28.          machine does not boot anymore.
  29.  
  30. Sympton: This is what the ROM Monitor (2.1 (v59)) shows:
  31.  
  32.         Searching for CD-ROM drive...
  33.         Exception #5 (0x14) at 0x100a570
  34.  
  35. Best regards,
  36.
