By accident, the name of my startup internal hard disk was modified. I had not noticed this fact right away. The next time I tried to reboot the machine, after loading up all of the init's, the machine just locked-up, with the top menu bar flashing on and off. Nothing I did fixed the problem. I reloaded the system, disabled all the inits (execpt for freshstart :-(), but still no luck. It took quite a few tries at rebooting before noticing the new hard disk name. Once I changed it back to the original name, all started working again. Is this 'feature' normal behaviour? How could I have gotten around this problem, and does this mean I can never change the name of my start-up device? --curtis -- Curtis C.
