My apologies if this is an old topic, but it's new to me.

Last weekend I installed a Rejuvenator board in my Amiga 1000.  I also
have a 2-meg board in the expansion slot and an Insider 1-meg board
inside (which isn't contributing anything because I don't have an
addmem program right now).  

My usual boot floppy mounts a rad: and copies itself over.  Warm-booting
is from the rad:, and has always performed flawlessly until now.
Now, on every boot, cold or warm, my machine asks for a boot disk.  And
it always has to remount rad: ("assign rad: exists" always fails).
Once it is mounted rad: works fine, except that it doesn't recover
on the next reboot.

The Rejuvenator contains one meg of ram which configs the way the
original 512k used to.  The original 512k in the system now appears at
$C00000, and the Insider board would appear at $A00000 if it were addmem'ed.
(This is an invalid address under the original memory mapping, but not
with the rejuvenator installed).  The 2-meg board on the expansion bus
autoconfigs.  I am running setpatch and fastmemfirst in my startup-sequence 
before mounting rad:, and there is plenty of memory in the 2-meg board
without rad: having to be placed in C00000 memory.

Any ideas?  Hopefully ones which don't involve opening the case again :-)
