    I have a slight problem on my Amiga.  prt: doesn't work when I boot
from one particular disk.  My (vastly simplified) startup-sequence looks like
this:

echo > prt: hello

Should print hello when I first boot up- right?  Well it doesn't.  Instead 
it writes to the screen 'prt: device busy'.  I have all the devices files and
libraries so what is the problem?  VirusX doesn't see anything wrong and 
it hasn't spread to any of my other disks.
