Pete,
I had one doing this and it drove me nuts. It always eventually
started but it had the same added steps. I wound up going through the
inards (technical term :-) looking for lose conection, reseating the
ram and checking the modem card. I zapped the pram and rebuilt the
desk top, reset the power manger....all the usual tricks. I finally
decided that it was because I let that particular Duo sit long times
without being hooked to power (it was back-up unit with no a/c adapter)
and it ran it's batteries down. If I plugged it in to power and left it
sitting few minutes before starting up, it had no extra steps in the
start up process. I think the pram battery was going on mine. Is the
Duo's date or time screwed up when you get it going? That almost
always means pram battery replacement time.
Hope my ramblings helped.
good luck,
Randy

The USA is so enormous, and so numerous are its schools, colleges and
religious seminaries, many devoted to special religious beliefs ranging
from the unorthodox to the dotty, that we can hardly wonder at its
yielding a more bounteous harvest of gobbledygook than the rest of the
world put together.
