- I don`t have a similar problem, but I think that the problem could be, that
- the UNIX Kernel on you Hard Drive is linked to, let`s say Hard Disk ID 6, and
- you jumper`d your Hard Disk ID to 1... than you AmigaUNIX Kernel can`t start,
- because he searches his root device on Hard Disk ID 6... and you have ID 1!
-
- So try all Hard Disk ID`s from 0 -> 6 and start every time you AmigaUNIX... with
- the ID it will start you have the right one!
-
- I don`t will garantuee that that`s the problem... but this is a possibility!
