Boot problems on my GS!

[tyoung@jove.acs.unt.edu (Phillip "Ty" Young)]

Hi.  I'm having some weird, VERY sporadic boot problems on my GS w/sys 601:  
if I don't get the timing EXACTLY right as far as when I turn the computer on 
after the hard drive powers up, does its whining thing, etc., the system 
crashes during the boot-up process.  What's really weird is that if I 
turn off the power to both HD and GS, then repeat the process just about 
exactly, everything's fine!  
SPECS, for what it's worth:  ROM 01 GS, w/ 1.25M RAM, Apple HS SCSI card 
(DMA on) controlling a Quantum ProDrive 40 (scsi 6).  Terminated.

Now, as a naive, new user of the GS and GS/OS, I installed the "all 
icons" file from grind.isca.uiowa.edu and noticed recently that that's 
40k of icons maybe I _don't_ need.  Is this maybe a "not enough memory" 
problem?

Thanks for your help.
TY
