Try booting from the HD in question without Startup-Sequence from the Early Boot Menu (hold down both mouse buttons).

Then type 'cd s:' then 'ed startup-sequence'.

Now you can edit the s-s line by line with the Amiga's most awful but least demanding text editor :-).

-edit-
Redrum was faaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAster ;-).

From here: 'If there is something wrong with your system you may see the following colours.

    * Red: An error was found in the ROM.
    * Green: An error was found in Chip ram.
    * Blue: An error was found in the custom chips.
    * Yellow: The CPU has found an error before the error trapping software (Guru) has been activated.

These problems could be caused by a number of things such as a loose chip or board. The red screen may be caused by a loose Kickstart chip that can be fixed by pressing down on the ROM to check it is fitted correctly. Another cause could be a connection problems between the chip and socket that can be solved by straightening an bent pins. Alternatively, the green screen could be caused by a loose memory board, SIMM, or a loose RAM chip on the memory board. If reattaching these chips do not solve the problem, try them on another Amiga.'

If there's something loose(ish) it will result in very erratic behaviour I'd say (just like human beings :-P). Loose IDE cable and/or powerflyer perhaps? (Assuming we're discussing the setup in your setup).
