My new Packard Bell '286 machine is showing an odd flaw.  After it has been
off for a while (t > 6 hours) it will refuse to boot from the hard drive.
It will boot perfectly from floppy, and has no trouble accessing the
hard disk.  If on for more than 1 minute, it can be rebooted from the
HD without difficulty.

Anyone with a similar experience (and possible fixes) please reply.
