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.
