- First of all, if there's no message on the screen like 'Loading Kickstart' when
- you boot the machine, it probably boots off the ROM.
-
- Then check if you have a file called 'kickstart' in your devs-directory, and check wether
- you have less memory that you should have after booting. You could also use the program
- 'Sysinfo', which reports wether you have kickstart in ROM or in RAM.
-
- If all else fails, come visit me in room 260 (I'm also a student at TIH...:-D).
