Good golly this seems familiar, I spent a great deal of time trying
to figure out what caused the guru.  Try removing FASTMEMFIRST from
your startup-sequence.  The guru goes away then (at least it did for
me), then after you do that, join the team that is flaming Supra for
not going with a standard 1.3 mount and mountlist.

I have two Amiga 2000 locally with the fine Supra 30 meg drive and
neither want to work with the FFS and FASTMEMFIRST...
