I believe that everything I am going
to ask about has been discussed in the past, but I did not
but I did not pay attention then as I did not have at
Amiga 2000 at the time.  

My problem is with binddrivers, it seems that when I use
bindrivers and then use shell in the initial CLI, the CLI
hangs after I press return.  This only happens in the
original window, I can open up as many CLI's as I want
and run shell in them with no problems.

I am using Shell 2.08 (Steve Drew's)
I have a 20 meg Microscribe drive partitioned into 2 10 meg
  partition
I am using the A2090 harddrive interface
I a have a b2000
and 2 floppies, using the standard workbench

the following startup-sequence fails
	binddrivers
	cd dh0:
	shell

Three other things.  When I call bindrivers the harddisk
makes a lot of noise, for a couple of seconds.  Is this
normal?

There was also a discussion on why the B2000 does not
guru.  Was there ever a patch for this, and if so can I
get it.

Is there a Harddisk backup program around?  I would like
to be able to copy my harddisk to several floppies every
once in awhile.

I will not ask about the status of the fast file format.

Well I would just like to thank EVERYONE in advance.

Since I do not post very often I would like to take this
opportunity to thank the Amiga Community and Usenet
people for all the great PD examples and programs that
are out there, I would mention you all by name but I do
not want to tie up net bandwidth that much, and I am
afraid that I will forget someone.

Please excuse all spelling and grammatic errors, as I
am using a lousy keyboard.  The fact that I do not speak
the language very well, does not help matter either :-).
