Got another obstacle, and not sure what's to blame. It goes like this:
A3000D, Deneb, Poseidon 4.4, BB3, all working good. But if I have a USB jump drive inserted, when the machine boots, I it get exactly 2 yellow alerts, I have to click through and continue booting. My HD has 2 partitions...
Nothing in the Deneb no problem, no alerts. Now, I know about the later FFS expiration factor:
The problem is that the various versions of the FastFileSystem available there include expiry dates (which are now past). This means that each time you reboot your Amiga, a yellow alert will warn you of expiration. It is important to know that it is JUST A WARNING, and it can be ignored without any worry of problems with your hard drives.

But why this only exhibits itself when there is some device connected to the deneb? Anyone seen this?

Ok, one correction. I have a USB CDROM connected and there is no yellow alert on boot or reboot. So, I'm thinking the jump drive thingy uses the FAT file system, that seems to be the trigger.
Then on a side thought, wondering how does the expiration of FFS work? How does it know what day it is? My computer has no working clock, I'm always in 1995, oh that would be nightmare.

What does the yellow alert say? the ffs beta warning has a long english text. Is the alert you're getting a recoverable alert (guru)? Which number? Also, I don't recommend using stuff beyond BB2 or only very selective. I even would advise you not to use the new exec.library and ram-handler from BB2 (and later).
And never ever install anything by Cosmo on your machine. Don't do it. It will not significantly speed up anything, but rather cause incompatibilities and an unstable machine.

i think that yellow alert is the one that says this version of ffs is beta demo and bla bla bla

WIP = work in progress !

Yes, coming to that conclusion, just stay with BB1. Anyway, for records sake I have the error here, it is in fact a guru, recoverable and NOT the beta warning:
Error : 0100 0003
Task : 07C3 D1A8
FFS: 45.15
Fat95 3.11
Think I'll just take it from the top and stop after BB1, live with that for a while. Thanks for responding Chris, and guys. If I remedy this after re-install, BB1, I'll report back...
