Now, the "F1 prompt" boot stage > behaves like this: [snip] This sounds similar to a Compaq machine I used to have with a SMART RAID in it. I had 3 drives - a SCSI, and two on the RAID. It would beep at F1 as well. I had to press F5 3 times to cycle through all the drives, but then when I got back to the original I could press F1 and it would now boot fine. I never solved it, aand eventually changed machine (though not the hardware). At the time it did not matter so much as the machine was a server so when booted would just run until it manually needed to be restarted. -pete.
