   I simply followed the directions for the mountlist for both msh 1.3 and
the IBeM program, noting to use dostype 3 for the internal drive on my
3000 (remember to set the dostype in both the msh mountlist AND the IBeM
mountlist...).

   I then mounted them both, threw a 720k 3 1/2 DOS floppy in the internal
drive and ran IBeM, sucker booted right up.

   I too had problems originally getting started, mostly due to error
on my part... the quick black flicker then right back to the cli was
something I encountered before reading all the instructions on both msh
and IBeM (had never used messydos before trying out IBeM...) 

   Anyway, good luck, but like I said before the speed is dissapointing.
Having a 25Mhz 3000, and noting how slow it is, I wonder what it is like
on a 14Mhz '20? anyone out there have a 68020 care to share what they
experienced?
