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.
