	Yeah this is REALLY weird. I even re-downloaded the 5.04 System
Disk and Tools Disk from apple.com to definitely show that this is happen-
ing, but I've not gotten around to re-installing them... (you have to 
deal with those DAMN 3.5" floppies... heheheh... Less than a week with
a hard drive and I'm acting like this.. Still takes about 40 seconds to boot
though, almost as much as off of a floppy)

	Just get a copy of PRODOS version 1.8 off of some other disk and rename
it as P8 and copy it over the P8 on the boot disk.
