Now wait a minute- is this right that since Seagate SCSI's take several
seconds to rev-up, and since the Autoboot in KS1.3 doesn't periodically
check the devices, that you can't autoboot from a cold power up, but
that once both the computer and drive are ok, you CAN autoboot by
Amiga/Vulcan key-pinch.  So, to boot from cold start, you power up,
wait till HD boots (while watching the funny hand with disk), then
RE-Boot. Am I right or am I not going to be able to A-boot?
