[comp.sys.amiga] 226 error on new A500

My friend just purchased a new A500 during the holidays and the
system is giving a 226 error when he boots with his Workbench
disk. Its a new machine so I would not think the drive is faulty.
programs like games that would normaly boot upon startup only give
a blank screen. I'm not all too familiar with Amiga hardware and
software but is this a common problem easily fixed or is it quite
serious? I would appreciate any help.
