Hi, Looks like I'm into trouble with booting my cube again (I'd had a problem earlier with booting). Last time,my cube had been set to test for a hard disk, which it does'nt have, and was giving an error message. It was set not to test for a hard drive in the ROM monitor and started working well. Today, I went into the ROM monitor once again to set the Verbose Test Mode, so I can see what was going on while booting. Then when I typed 'bod', it gave all the initial messages, but instead of booting up fully it started typing 'boot_rc' repeatedly on the screen. And nothing else happens. So I reset the parameters in the ROM not to do verbose test. And when I tried booting up, on the screen I got the small NeXT Mach Operating System window, with the same thing happening again. All the initial messages are typed and then I get boot_rc over and over again. Since I have set no verbose test, why am I getting this window and why am I not getting the boot up. I have no clues to this. Anyone with one, please email me or post an article here. Thanks, I'll summarize. Venky. T.C.A.VENKATESAN IO92395@MAINE, DEPT. OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY, UNIV.
