My guess would be a bad PRAM battery... does the date stay accurate?

This is a WILD guess(!), but maybe the other 1400 has the HD tagged as the
startup disk, and when you do it on Franken-1400, its system tries to use 
the CF card as the startup disk?

Sometimes L2s go bad... but try using another program just to be sure, like 
Sonnet's Metronome.
