It's possible your KS disk is munged.  On ctrl-ah-ah, the boot rom
checksums WCS memory.  If the checksum is incorrect (doesn't match the
checksum that the KS disk said it should have), the A1000 assumes
memory has been corrupted and asks for a new KS disk.  You don't see
this during the -first- boot (cold boot, reading KS) because the WCS
doesn't get checked then.

Try cold booting from a different KS disk, then give the
three-fingered salute and see what happens.
