startup-sequence is a bunch of commands wich configures machine to load workbenceh.

You can comment out anythin with ; before a command.

If you machine doesn't boot to OS it can't be anything else. After LoadWB command is loaded it start to execute programs from wbstartup drawer. So wbstartup drawer is another option, but it is unlikely.

You can boot with both mouse button presed, choose boot without startup-sequence.

Then set echo on, set echo ON after that you can execute startup sequence manually. Go s/ drawer on shell and write execute startup-sequence.

When echo is turned on you should see wich command causes error



Kinda weird, ran it with the echo but while something displayed I didn’t get to read it because screen went black and rebooted...

In any case, seems I found the culprit, as I know have everything as it was originally (un-commented) except this:

IF EXISTS DEVS:scsi.device
C:LoadModule DEVS:scsi.device
ENDIF

So I guess it’s this scsi module that’s conflicting with my card?? (i had read that this blizzard also comes with a scsi connector??)

Yes it was an optional extra.

So what exactly does this mean? The other card does have it and so when you load the module it just gets loaded and works as expected and this one doesn’t and this load causes it to crash? (Maybe tries to actually access the card module which does not exist?)

In a nutshell, you are correct.
The scsi driver tries to access the scsi module, but it's not present and the scsi driver cannot handle the situation so crashes.

Had the same problem myself a good while ago...

Awesome. Well, mystery solved I guess.

Now I am curious about the second CF the seller gave me telling me to use it with the blizzard... probably just different stuff in the startup-sequence I guess, and not really needed, but bonus for me I suppose :)
