I have the CMI processor accelerator and have found a small problem. When I do
a power-on, the system freezes in mid-execution of the startup-sequence (after
already transferred control to my hard disk). Any subsequent reboots via the
CTL-A-A keypress works just fine. My config is B2000, 3Meg, ST251-0 40 meg
drive, DOS 1.2 with ARP.

Floppy startup-sequence:
    SYS:System/FastMemFirst
    Binddrivers
    echo "Transferring control to DH0:..."
    cd DH0:
    execute s/hd-startup

Contents of s/hd-startup on DH0:
    Defdisk DH0:
    wait 5
    pa -f   <-- here's where I go to 14Mhz speed
    wait 5
    ASSIGN T: RAM:
    [ etc. ] other assigns, start of GOMF,DMouse, VirusX, etc.

I'm mystified on this one. Anybody got answers??
