I understand that an A2000 thousand has 1 - 3.1 ROM chip. However, I
attempted a clean format with 1 - 3.1 ROM chip in my system, tried to
reinstall the OS, the system indicated that I needed to a 3.1 ROM chip in my
system. Being that I did already have a 3.1 ROM chip in my system (for over 5
years), I continued with the install and then rebooted. The insert kickstart
image appeared the first time. The second time, all I would just get a black
screen. I obtained a second ROM chip which I used to replace the first,
everthing was fine until I improperly installed an incorrect library which I
then attempted to correct with another reformat. Then the problem with the
kickstart image re-surfaced with the second chip. I am aware that under
normal circumstances, the ROM chip should not be affected. I have reformatted
under 3.1 over a thousand times before without this strange situation ever
happening. That is why I find this perplexing.
