Funny... same thing happens to me, although I never went and isolated
it to being a problem of whether or not the hard disk(s) were turned on
(I have three; two SCSI and one CMS).  The error is either an $0681
or $0682.  Only way to get the system unlocked is to initiate a
self-test (OA/Option/Ctrl/RESET), and then immediately abort it
(Ctrl/RESET) -- works fine after that.  Furthermore, the error isn't
consistant -- it strikes on about 50% of power-ups.

The only GOOD news about your report, Greg, is that now I know it's
NOT my motherboard giving me troubles.  ;(

Anyone else having this problem?
