Bring up the control panel in 5.4 (nice layout guys, much improved over the clockless previous), click on the startup device (bottom) icon, then click back on the mouse icon and (as Tex Avery used to say) kerblooey. I'm running an SE with two floppies and nothing but a mouse hooked into it (and I mean nothing, Apple didn't send us our keyboards when they shipped our SE's) and when I click on "startup device" I get a blank-right-half of the dialog box. What the? How the? Who the?

This is a known bug in the Startup Device cdev, and is fixed in system 4.1. It only occurs if there are no hard disks attached and Startup Device is selected. Just don't select Startup Device if you have no hard disks attached (like the old joke about hitting your head against the wall: if it hurts, stop doing it). -- David Goldsmith Apple Computer, Inc.
