	Since I got my C. Ltd. hard disk last week, I have had a small
problem booting my Amiga 1000.  When I first power on, power up the hard
drive, and insert the Kickstart1.2 disk, my Amiga does not recognize my
disk as Kickstart.  The drive light flashes briefly, and the "insert
Kickstart" picture reappears.

	So, I pop out my disk and re-insert it.  Voila... no problems.
Does anybody understand this?  Sometimes, the computer takes 5-10
attempts before it recognizes my Kickstart disk.  Yes, I am letting
the hard drive completely spin up before I insert Kickstart.

	Amiga 1000, KS1.2, Microbotics StarboardII (2meg), CLtd
SCSI controller & 50-meg hard disk.
