	I have a strange problem with my amiga that I hope someone can help
me out with.  I have an A2000 with a bridgeboard and a 20meg hard drive on
the bridgeboard side with a partition allocated to the Amiga (ala DJMount).
Every since I have loaded V1.3, I have had a hard time running Deluxe Paint II
off of the hard drive.  I click on the icon and insert the key disk when it
asks for it and it comes up fine, but if I eject the key disk, I get the guru.

	The other day, this scenerio happened to me, but this time, I could not
boot back up afterwards.  I have not been able to boot normally since.  The
problem is that the "Execute jh0:s/startup-sequence" call in my startup-sequence
on the floppy errors with the message "EXECUTE: No K Directive".  So it never
does run the startup-sequence on my hard drive and quits at the end of my
floppy's startup-sequence.

	After exiting the startup-sequence, I open the hard disk drive icon
and the window shows up just like normal, then I click on the "shell" icon
to get a newshell.  At this point I get a requester that says "Volume Hard: not
validated".  When I press "Cancel", the shell comes up but has the message that
it could not open "T:Command-0-01", or something like that (T: is assigned to
the hard disk).  Obviously shell could not open the temporary file needed
to execute s:Shell-Startup.

	The really strange thing is that from this point on, I seem to be fine.
I can run any program on my hard drive and never get complaints about it not
being validated again.  However, everytime I have rebooted since, I get the
same "EXECUTE: No K Directive" upon boot-up and "Volume Hard: not validated" if
I click on the newshell icon.

	I can't figure out what is going on.  If any of you have *any* ideas
at all, I would greatly appreciate hearing your suggestion.
