Hello, I posted this several weeks ago, but did not get any replies. Usually,
one gets several replies, we have some very helpfull folks on the net. So
maybe it did not make it out. So here it comes again! :) :)
A friend of mine who goes to our local Amiga users group is having trouble
with his A2000 with Bridge card. It's pretty weird, I'll let you read the E-Mail
he sent me and see what anyone thinks it may be.

Doug, since I talked to you last, I noticed that you were right, it does seem
that the startup sequence is not executing on the warm boot.
Here's the message for you:
I am using an A2000 with a Bridgeboard. I have experienced a problem that
occurs when doing a warm boot of a workbench disk which has the PC files as
well as the startup for a Western Digital Filecard, which is installed as a PC
hard disk with an Amiga partition. On a warm boot with the very same
workbench disk, (for example, after a guru) the hard disk spins and I get
something that looks like an AmigaDOS screen, but without the DOS prompt. It
appears that the startup sequence has stopped executing, but I don't
understand why it should perform differently on a warm boot than a cold boot.
Any ideas?? Thanks much.
Thank you Doug, for your concern. Its not really a major problem, just a
minor irritant.

Well, that's it. If anyone has ANY ideas, please lets hear them. Imagine having
to turn your machine off/on each time you needed to reboot because it would
not do a warm reboot. A major pain!! Thanks for any help!

Hmmmm this looks real familiar - On the 2000 that runs BERKS AMIGA BBS (yes I have 2 2000's ;-) it uses 2 A2090's each with 2 hard drives. From a cold boot everythings fine, on a warm boot the binddrivers command hangs the system. This results in my being forced to power off for 60 secs and then re-booting. Ive never looked into it, but mabybe its about time I do a bit of digging. Have you friend put ECHO statements before and after the binddrives command to see if thats where his system is hanging. It wont stop it, but if thats where it hangs it gives him an idea where to start.
