From article <3634@crash.cts.com:, by lgreen@pnet01.cts.com (Lawrence Greenwald):
: 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.
: 
	Can you pin down the point in which it hangs up a little more exactly?
ie. Put echo statements into the Startup-Sequence to find out exactly where it
stops. It could be a disk validation type problem, or possibly the PA having
trouble locking into sync when toggled. If it were the PA, you would probably
see similar things fairly often when toggling, not just during the first power
up. I'm assuming you have the A-2090 or A-2090a controller card for your HD...
