Looks like something may have been corrupted.

Have you taken a look at your startup-sequence file?  I'm not an Amiga Guru, but that is the first place I'd look.

Are you familiar with how Amiga CLI commands work ?

It appears you've done something to the startup-sequence that is preventing the OS from loading. What is in your startup-sequence?

It would help if you could somehow paste your startup-sequence (and user-startup if we find no errors in the s-s) here, so we can take a look at it.

This may sound rather low-tech, but when I have a problem with my Startup sequence or User startup and I can't for the life of me work out where the hell the problem is then I edit it and insert a bunch of "echo" commands,

eg, every other line, insert Echo "1", Echo "2", etc

When the startup sequence is run then you can see exactly what the last command was run from the numbers printed by the Echo command.

Like I said, it's worked for me.   :-)

Real elites say

set echo on

in the beginning of their startup-sequence. :-)

But judging by that screenshot this doesn't even need any stepping through the s-s, it is corrupted and must be fixed.

By all means, post your Startup sequence, and user Startup.. here. Someone will catch the trouble.
